TW Trip 2010, Part II

After the 1st weekend, dad and mom decided to take us to Kenting since it's not too far from Kaohsiung and it's been a while since I last went there....oh and Billy has never been there....there are really not that many places he visited while he was in TW I guess....So here are photos of our Kenting trip....

We checked out "cat's nose" before we arrived our hotel. It's the southern most point of TW and the rock is supposed to look like a cat....not sure if people can really tell by looking at the rock though....



Checked in at the hotel (Howard's) in the afternoon and had afternoon tea at the hotel....A lot of native tribal decorations at the hotel :)

At night we went to the night market that is like a whole street next to our hotel. There were a lot of shops and a lot of food stands....and too much walking.....lol...ate way too much for the night....


We took a photo at the door of our hotel and headed back home for the 2nd day cuz the weather was really bad. I don't think I have ever been to Kenting when it's raining like crazy, but all three kids of the family just experienced the rainy Kenting in our trips since this summer....I think that is kinda amusing after all....I mean....How big is the chance for all three of us to get so lucky on three separate trips? Anyway....Here are some gloomy photos for the 2nd day....



Took 2 photos on the way home. Didn't do much at Kenting at all but I guess that would give us a good reason to come back next time :)

We went to a famous pig feet place for lunch and fishcake place on the way home. I think this was the best photo out of those places even though we didn't even try it....lol....Ok....moving on to part III next time :)

Halloween 2010

I know I stopped the whole TW series for a while already but I will get back to that later....cuz it's the Halloween weekend!!! It's the 1st time I really watched a pumpkin being carved since Billy wanted to carve one. Hades spent his afternoon watching the whole process while the sun was right on him. I think he enjoyed the afternoon cuz he was in his best mood since we got back :)

This was the finished product...quite comical I thought....

Those pumpkin seeds were oven roasted and supposed to be good for health....and that evil pumpkin at night with candles inside was the same one that looked very cute in the day time....I guess it's like how people can appear all nice on the outside and be diff. in the inside...lol....I know I am reading too much into that pumpkin....

On Sunday we went to Descanso again just to check out if they had Halloween decorations....and surely they had a lot of pumpkins in the garden :)


Here are some photos I took from the garden....somehow it turned out to be a colorful photo day....






Us with pumpkins....


Took Akiang with us too and she was having fun taking photos of herself....anyway...two photos I took with her...

Kids came to knock on our door for candies and that kept Billy busy throughout the night while we were watching a movie....I guess it was our 1st real Halloween since we got married cuz it's the 1st time we actually had a door for people to knock on....Alright....more on TW trip later on then :)
