Since my brother has been so "diligent", uploading photos on his blog the minute he returned to Singapore, I shall just do a link to Phil's site.
Thanks for making my life easier. But it doesn't mean you can get away with bringing my mrt card back to Singapore!!!

Trip to Kaohsiung and Kending
We were all excited to escape from the cold and wet wintery Taipei. Our 5 days 4 nights trip down South brought us down to Kending (垦丁) and Kaohsiung (高雄). Before that I was still wondering how we would survive bringing 2 kids along on public transport. But it turned out pretty well.
Justin enjoyed his 300km/hr bullet train ride on the High Speed Rail. It took us only one and a half hours from Taipei to Kaohsiung.

Then from Kaohsiung, another 2 hour car ride to Kending - a tropical playground in the Southern part of Taiwan. It was sunshine, and more sunshine. Time to head for the beach and relax. Woohoo!! This somewhat reminded me of my Bali trip.
After 2 days in Kending, we drove back to Kaohsiung. More photos ...

Boat Ride to Cijin (旗津) Island
Cijin is a long, narrow island that forms a breakwater along Kaohsiung Harbour. Besides many small eateries selling seafood along the road, there is also a 300-yr-old Tienhou Temple near the dock.

Justin's Bruised Forehead
Justin hit himself face-flat against the wall yesterday. I was tucking him in bed when the incident happened. He cried really hard and his tears kept rolling down his cheeks.
Immediately I knew that the hit was bad because he can tolerate a substantial amount of pain. During his first year of immunisation, he never shed a tear or made noise when he took his jabs.
But this time he cried very loud. Poor boy! Sure enough, the bump slightly above his eye came up. The size of half a walnut, diameter of a 50-cent coin. Thank goodness that his eye is alright.
His forehead is still blue-black today. I guess it will take a couple of days before the swell goes down.
