Auntie Max's turn to ride on Jason's scooter.

Nope, just kidding. He was trying to ask for directions.

Jason went out and bought Valentine flowers for everyone... Well, all the girls anyway... Jevin decided to take mine.
And then Jason ordered pizza, but the others paid for it. Thanks guys.

Day 6 - Feb 13 CNY Eve

Ahhh, the garbage collection ritual. And this is the collector that just loves me to bits. He likes to rip open the bags I throw in. Cheryl wanted to get a picture of our musical trucks.
Our friends Sam and Sabrina invited us to their house for Chinese New Years Eve.

Cacklefest Video Updates

At dinner on the 12th, Jevin stole the lemon off my plate. Auntie Max caught his reaction.


During the day on the 13th... Jevin sings his ABC's. Note his tongue during the "LMNOP" part.


Auntie Joan and Cheryl wanted a drink like mine. I wrote down how to say it in Chinese and sent them on their way. Knowing that they would likely encounter some difficulty, I followed with Auntie Max's camera. You probably won't hear any of the conversation, but just pay attention to the facial expressions of the server... and especially her reaction at the end.

Those of you reading this on facebook will not be able to see it... So instead go to the actual website to see them. http://taiwantremors.blogspot.com

Cacklefest - Day 4 - Feb 11

Fire Meets Water
The water tiger and fire dragon had a disagreement and this is how they agreed to live.

This sign says, "I am afraid of my wife."

Auntie Max took this picture of a special lady.
Henry and Leanne were gracious enough to be our tour guides for the day on this trip. We went to some mud springs in Tainan and also Salt mountain.

There were also fishie feet eaters here.

Mudding up before the mud springs.

Salt Mountain... It looked a little brown..

Cacklefest - Day 3 - Feb 10

On Wednesday we all went to Ba-Gwa Mountain in Changhua.

And we fed the fishies.

The Cacklefest - Day 2 - Feb 9

On Tuesday morning, Gladys picked us up nice and early and took us to Goo-Gwan Hot Springs. Auntie Joan and Auntie Max road with Gladys and the rest of the crew was in our car.
Jason took this picture of us on the bridge... and then shook the whole thing just to hear us scream. lol
Then we made it to an area near the tourist center. We had a little sit down and relaxed as our feet were cleaned... BY FISH. As you can see, they just loved mom's feet.
After, we went to a really nice resort with the natural hot springs fed into a spa type swimming pool. Everyone really enjoyed the soak.
Finally, we went to a department store in Taichung. By the time this picture was taken, poor Jevin was just done for the night.

The Cacklefest - Day 1 - Feb 8th

They arrived in Taiwan at midnight and actually made it to our house in only 2 hours. I woke up at 2 am thinking I had an hour to spare. Suddenly DeeOgee started freaking out. I thought, no... It can't be. But in fact, it was.
After everyone woke up, we went to the salon for our $150 hair wash. She-Toe-Fa (hair wash) includes a back massage, head massage while they wash the hair, minty conditioner massage, facial massage and finally the back massage with minty cream... Oh, and they style the hair too. So I have to say... I pretty much think they were satisfied with their experience.
Above includes our hair goddesses.
