12 Days 11 nights Taiwan and Okinawa trip

Have been planning for this trip since the beginning of the year after XX was born. Part of me was itchy with the travel bug, and the part of me wanted to go visit our Taiwanese friends, especially a good friend who had also given birth to her 2nd daughter! I simply had to go on an overseas vacation!!!

Since this would be a super long post and to make sure the quality of the posts would be equally good, I shall break down my writing into parts- Taiwan, Okinawa and post- Okinawa in Taipei. 

We flew by Singapore airlines and were very happy with the flight experience, considering that we had a 6month old baby and a near 3 year old toddler who could throw tantrums, surprising you at the most inconvenient moments.



We took the late morning flight out and reached Taoyuan international airport around 5pm plus. We proceeded on to take the high speed rail to Taichung where we would have dinner with a friend and then stay at Taichung for the night. We were super tired when we reached Taichung! 

My good friend J and her husband helped booked a super nice room at millennium hotel! The hotel was owned by the Singapore grand copthone chain and it was luxurious!! They were kind and provided a nicely padded crib for XX and even provided baby wash basin and a sterliser for bottles in the room! Thumbs up!

We had dinner with J at one of restaurants in the hotel with a magnificent view! However, XX was very tired as it was way past her bedtime so she was very whiny. I had a hard time rocking her to sleep before I could enjoy my dinner. 




Went to J's house after dinner which was a few minutes away from the hotel. WQ had lots of fun playing with her dogs!! Even XX was excited when she saw them! I'm happy that my daughters are not afraid of animals! This Taiwan trip was an animal- themed trip!
