We’re here!

祢好！We hope that this finds you all well!

So, after about 32 hours of travel, we made it to Taiwan! The girls did very well for the most part. They thought being in airports was really cool and LOVED that the long flights from Detroit to Tokyo and Tokyo to Taipei they got to have their own TV in the back of the seat.

We finally made it!

It also helped to have Uncle Mark waiting for us at the airport. The familiar face was a warm welcome for all of us. We even had our good friend Eva show up at midnight as a surprise just after we arrived at the guest apartments we’re currently staying in. We’ve been able to reconnect with some old friends already, which has been really nice.

So far the girls have done really well and I think they’re finally over jet lag. Charis especially has loved it. They’ve already become (in their minds) professionals on the subway. Charis has wanted to eat Chinese breakfast every.single.morning. Meili would drink this yogurt-type drink they have here the entire time if we would let her. Liliana is quite the fan of rice. They love walking the streets and got to see their first large rat today in an alley we walk quite a bit, which they thought was pretty cool – they even named him “Brownie”.

So far, their favorite things are 7-11, the mango and strawberry ice, breakfast, the subway, and the local neighborhood park.

We are currently apartment hunting and trying to figure out where we’re supposed to be.

We’ve made a few posts on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, so be sure to follow us there for more going’s-on.

Have a great day, we love you!
