Day 3- Our Home

Even though we are looking forward to buying our first house in Canada next summer, we are loving our apartment life in Taiwan. Our home is the 8th floor of the gray building and we have been so happy here the past 3 years. All of our rooms are very spacious and we have huge windows in each room. To the north we have gorgeous views of the lush Qilian Mountain, and to the south we can see Taipei City (it's great to stand on our balcony on New Year's Eve and watch the amazing fireworks display at the 101 building). Some other amenities include a huge backyard (very rare in Taiwan), a swimming pool, gym, and a huge parking garage with lots of storage space (another rarity). I'm so grateful for our little haven from the world where our family can gather and be safe.


It has been a wonderful opportunity for our family to live in Asia. The Taiwanese people have been very friendly and accepting of us, and they just love our children (which makes my heart happy). Of course we get homesick and there are things that drive us crazy here too, but for the most part we have felt very lucky for this experience.
