Taiwan 2019 (Part I)

This summer K-bao and C-bao made their 4th trip to Taiwan (and 5th to Asia), following up on their Formosa adventures in 2013, 2016 and 2017.

By this time the girls were old hands, and were well stocked with headphones, tablets, books, snacks, stuffies, slime and other distractions. K-Pop traveled alone with the girls, as K-Mum had to work for another week+ before joining the family.

After a relatively uneventful flight (including Chinese + Math homework in addition to the inevitable Pixar movie or two), the girls arrived in Taipei and joyfully said hello to various family members.

Of course, they wasted no time in commandeering Aunt Catherine (Xiao Goo Goo)'s phone and immediately taking a hundred Snap pics with various filters.

One person K-bao met on this trip is Mildred, who helps the K-grandfolks with daily life. Mildred happens to be an expert at braiding hair, and the girls enjoyed wonderful new braids every day this trip.

Much more to come!

ABC Hit It

One of the games that occupied K-bao this summer - and hence distracted much of K-bao's family - was a little clap-snap routine called ABC Hit It that she had learned from her friends from school.

Each and every meal, K-bao would entreat at least one nearby meal companion to do the routine with her, until long-suffering relatives like Shu-Shu had the words and moves down pat.

The most relevant part of the rhyme?

"'Poof!' goes the attidude!" Even K-Pop can get into that message.
