Summer 2018 Carton King was a very strange place. We went with friends, who told us that the exhibits were made from cardboard. We didn’t know what to think, but if we had tried to imagine it, we would have been way off. There were tons of exhibits made from cardboard. There was a huge … More Carton King – Taichung, Taiwan

Summer 2018 Back in Taichung, we found something that helps with the summer heat. Near the Mistugoshi mall (one of so very many malls in Taichung), a pop up water park popped up. This concept of attractions popping up was new to me and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It seems to be a … More Pop up water play – Taichung, Taiwan

June 2018 In Seoul, we loved the Children’s Grand Park. We didn’t really know much about it except that it had come highly recommended by so many parents in my world schooling groups. It is so big! Our first stop was the children’s museum. We go to children’s museums in almost every city we find … More Children’s Grand Park, Seoul, South Korea

April 2018 Even taking into our account how cheap TokyoDisney was, we were still shocked at how cheap tickets to Universal Studios in Osaka were compared to the park in California.

There is a gift shop where you can meet the artist. Most of us don’t speak Chinese, but we took a photo … More Rainbow Village

Miss Ws favorite part of our visit to the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts was the blown glass art. The museum had so many great exhibits, but this was her favorite. She spent so long examining it, picking favorites and taking pictures, (unfortunately, we don’t know the name of the artist because the info … More Colorful glass art

Oh Tokyo Disneyland, how we miss you. I highly recommend going to Tokyo Disney in November. There was a little bit of a fall chill, and it was not crowded so wait times were way down. I didn’t really think the twins would care about being there, but they loved it. Some of the rides … More Tokyo Disneyland

We had so much fun in Tokyo and we learned a lot. Here are some random bullet points: ALWAYS double and triple check the flight times so as not to mix up AM and PM ALWAYS use the directions provided by your AirBnB host and do not think you are more capable than them at … More Japan Lessons
