Tuesday 10th August 2010

Today was a relaxing day by the pool because the wather was gorgeous.  We also ate by the pool too because we planned to go to Temple Street Night Market in the evening to buy some gifts.

Later in the afternoon Dad decided to go to the Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lean Gardens.  Mum and I didn't want to go so we stayed up by the pool! 

When he came back he said it was a very pleasant walk around.  He had taken four photographs as evidence that he did actually go! 

I talked to my Japanese friend today and she is called Stephanie and she is 10 years old.  She is really nice. 

Before Temple Street we went to a big Chinese department store (Yue Hwa) and bought a lazy Susan and some bowls, spoons and plates which we arranged to have shipped home.  We haven't room to put it in our luggage because I've bought so many souvenirs! 

Temple Street was the usual tat, tat and a bit more tat!  We managed to buy some really nice stuff though.

Speak soon
