Hualian Vacation


Last week was fun but incredibly tiring for me. After getting back from Singapore late Wednesday night, Thursday Annie, Mimi, my mom, an I moved ourselves to Hsinchu. Then early Friday we all left with Annie’s family for Hualian. Hualian lies in Eastern Taiwan which happens to be the beautiful side of Taiwan. The west side of Taiwan is pretty industrialized while the east side is mainly resorts and beautiful scenery. It is my first time there and it was very beautiful. We stayed at the Promised Land Resort the first night and FarGlory Hotel the second night. Both were very nice and plush. You can check the pictures in my picture gallery.

Overall it was nice but also very tiring taking care of Mimi. Mimi is getting pretty big now and with her personality she doesn’t let anyone hold her except for me and Annie and Annie cannot hold her for very long. That plus the getting up early everyday made Annie and I just really tired. Next time we go on these trips we will bring the stroller for Mimi. Mimi doesn’t like to sit in strollers for very long, which is why we haven’t used it in forever. However for these long trips even a 5 minutes rest is significant.

During the trip I video this clip of Mimi drinking soup. It’s really funny because the soup actually isn’t very hot but she learned from previous behavior to blow the soup to cool it down then drink it. I have to say Mimi’s coordination is getting pretty good. My mom commented also that it’s amazing how much complete sentences Mimi can say. It looks like our little girl is growing up.
