On the last day in Taiwan we met up with some of the ESL students who stayed with us in Canada.

We spent the whole day together. The took me around Taiwan city. Joy, Levi, Tom, Neilson, May who took the pic. and me.

The narrow walkway up the staires

to the shopping area the walls had

beautiful green moss all over.

We had to climb quite a flight of staires to get to this very interesting shopping area where mostly tourists go. This is also a residential.

This supposed to be the queen's crown. Over the years the neck seem to be getting smaller, and soon it will break. The tourist go to this sight just to see this crown. Very unique, a sight to see.

Levi's family.

1st 2 nights we stayed with Levi's antie, the 2nd 2 nights we stayed with Levi's mom. Very nice family

We both felt at home in their home.

Levi's antie, is a wonderful lady, continuously talk to me in Chinese and I just nodded my head as if I understood her. We laughed a lot with her.

Had a wonderful walk, weather was cool and breezy

Taking a break

Taiwan. Levi and May came to pick us up from the airport. Levi stayed with us for 8mth studying English in Van. in 2002

Shen Zhen China

These children followed me around only because I could speak English and they would repeat after me. Very anxious to speak English.

Children from various schools came to pay their respect to Mr. Sun Yet Sen China's first president. This hill where his statue is located, is quite a hill to climb.

They kill, soak the body in hot water, remove the feather, gut, and chop in minutes for you. Shen Zen China
