Breakfast at my grandparents'. Cooked sweet potato!
My beautiful mother at the National Taiwan University subway stop!
Lovely mountains in the background.
NTU, where my mother went to school. Stanford much?
Sneaky pictures of babies.
Taipei 101 in the distance.
Little photo shoot at NTU. Like actually, what is this.
This fell from a cotton tree. Like a cotton flower tree. Seriously.
Hairstyles. HAIRSTYLES. Lychee look.
My lovely mother with her friends from high school.
My mother PLAYING WII-FIT. THE BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
Pizza Hut in Taiwan...
Seafood pizza. Only here.
As all of you know, China (and more specifically, Taiwan) is a big part of my heritage. My mother was born in China but raised in Taipei, Taiwan. (FYI, my father was born in Philadelphia but raised in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. So kind of the same.) All of my mother's immediate family still resides in Taipei: my grandparents, my aunt, my uncle, their children and their children's children. I'm going to Taipei this summer for seven full weeks (from May 28-July 15) to live with them, become familiar with their Taiwan lifestyle and finally learn to speak some Mandarin.
