It may not be easy but I think taking kids around the world is well worth the perspective it will give them. We may not understand it all but we take in a whole lot from the word go, and I’m certainly glad of the trips my folks took me on when I was very small.

Oh, I’m currently at Sinica! Greetings and welcome (and goodbye) to/from Taipei! Did anyone manage to spend a spare afternoon to take you to Keelung to enjoy some seafood? Din Tai Feng is my favorite. I lived a 1o minute walk from the original one for 2 years. Great place. I really love living in Taipei.

Does the conference have a website? I would love to browse the talks, if they’re available online.

Incidentally, I also traveled around a lot when I was a baby, though I was mostly in South Korea. I’m told that lots of random Koreans would give me candy all the time. And for some reason I really liked Kimchi. Not that I remember any of it.

Hi!
Yes I must agree Taipei is wonderful. I’ve been living in Taiwan for over two years now and studying in the Physics Dept in Tsing Hua University for year and a half, and it never ceases to amaze me. But you’ve just seen a tiny fraction of it all, and of Taipei, of what you mention, you’ve only seen the really “touristy” places. If you have the time and opportunity, you should go to the less tourist places around Taipei or even outside Taipei. It’s really worth it.
^_^
cheers and hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here in Taiwan
