After checking out the new church plant in 101, we took the whole family down to the 101 food court for lunch. The younger kids went for McDonald’s (go figure), and the adults and older kids got some high-end Asian food court grub. [slideshow]

Afterwards, while walking to the Zhongxiao-Fuxing MRT, the girls found a park to play on. [slideshow]

We tried a couple new restaurants in our final days in Taipei. The first one is Anzu where we got some really tasty pork tonkatsu. They even have you grind fresh toasted sesame to go with the delicious katsu sauce. [slideshow]

The girls got into Mister Donut during this latest trip to Taiwan. It is one of their favorite things that they miss from Taiwan including subways, 7-11s and underground shopping malls. [slideshow]
