Movie house

A few months back we took our first long-haul flight, we tried if we could keep our then 3 year old son on his seat while on board our flight to Los Angeles from Taipei. He did! It was the movies Big hero 6 and Frozen that got him hooked on the screen and the earphones with his favorite drink on board - Fresh milk! Haha! 

When we learned that The good dinosaur will be showing, I asked him if he can sit on a movie house for a long time he said: Yes! Yes! Another question from mom: even if it's a bit dark inside the movie house? He thought for awhile and asked if it is darker than our room when we sleep. Kids and dark rooms.

And so after buying the BIGGEST bag of popcorn and some hotdogs....


It turned out to be so fun! Get ready to answer the endless questions of whys while you watch with kids. The behave boy's first movie house experience was a success! 

By the way, Baymax and Elsa was a regular in our household for about 4 months after that long-haul flight, and by regular, i meant 4-6 times a day of alternate showing of these 2 movies! :)

First ever stinky tofu

My first travel to Taiwan was in October of 2010 and i fell in love. That's it, i just simply fell in love and now, on my second Taiwan trip (and very certain to be coming back for more of this country) i have devoured one plate of the most sought after-stinky tofu! Was about to have a second order, but i remembered that Xiao Long Bao across the street that i obliged my husband and i to eat.
Night markets are one of those heavenly places i love, next to supermarkets of course. They have everything you need - from cheap fashion to cheap eats! Oooh that thought made me wanna transport and pack my bags to have that individual hot pot served right off the stove in boiling spicy soup base. 

Five days to go and we're off to this foodgasm place again! Now to learn how to order a peking duck for take out! 

I will be writing on how to travel with your kids and still get to spot the best food in town! 
Watch out for my next one. That is, if i won't be busy on this gastronomic journey with my 3year old son!
