Nights in Taiwan At night time it is really nice outside and the many streetlights look like glimmering stars. We are on the top floor of our apartment building in Taichung, so we have a great view of the city. The breeze blows on your face and you forget about your worries. The days are … More Guest post – Miss W (9)
What I like and don’t like about Taichung, Taiwan. I like that there is a Lego store right next to our apartment complex. I like that there are at least 9 restaurants within walking distance. I like Tiger City, (a mall) because it has an arcade and an ice cream shop. I don’t like that … More Guest post – Miss M (8)
What I like about Taiwan The bakeries are really nice and there are so many of them. I like how there are a lot of 7-11’s, because whenever you are hot when you are walking you can stop and get water or another cold drink. I like that I get a bunk bed and there … More Guest post – Miss G (6)
As of September 7, 2017 we have been gone for one month. 3 countries. 5 cities. 3 airplanes. 2 trains. Innumerable taxis. Miles of walking. One. Whole. Month. Wow. It doesn’t feel like that long, yet so much has happened. Time moves so fast when everything is new and everyday you are learning the ins … More One month down
This was our trip to Kaohsiung: We had to run for the train, because we arrived at the station just as the train was preparing to leave. Running downstairs carrying strollers is something no one should ever have to do. Robert and I stood for the 50 minute train ride. We were late to the … More Botanical gardens – Kaohsiung, Taiwan

As we travel, we want a little normalcy in our lives. We need days at home, doing school (or what that means to us), chores, and just relaxing. The problem with that, for me, is that if I don’t make a point of getting out I never will. It won’t matter what country we are … More Chihkan Tower Tainan, Taiwan
The major themes of our stay in Hong Kong were: Jet lag, the comfy hotel, and Cantonese. The night we arrived in Hong Kong, we were all either in tears or close to it. We, collectively, hadn’t slept much (though some more than others), and really needed beds. The hotel was air-conditioned, and the beds … More Hong Kong
Well, technically, it’s not a new continent to me, but since it is to a majority of our family, we will call it new. Our first flight was from Los Angeles to Xiamen, China and I was dreading a 14 hour flight with 2 three year olds, let alone the 4 other kids. The flight … More Flying to a new continent
Included in our quest to world school our children is the opportunity to downsize. We knew that we would need to get rid of 99% of our stuff. Due to issues in my childhood, I can safely say I am not a hoarder. This made the concept of downsizing seem easy, I just start throwing … More The reality of giving away everything you own.
