Mail me treasures!

So, I have recently been spoiled with two little packages from home arriving within the same week.  The first was a package from my step Grandma which contained homemade cookies!  I was so surprised and excited when I got them.  Let's just say Mark and I had them polished off in 2 days.  The next package I received was from my mom which contained Christmas cards (which I we are not opening til closer to Christmas), Kraft dinner and some cough candies; as I can't seem to find proper ones in Taipei.  We have not eaten the Kraft Dinner yet, because I guess we are saving it for a special occasion lol.  It is a luxury to have and once it's eaten, it will be gone and I will be sad haha.  So, I am going to nonchalantly post my address on here........... feel free to send little treasures over anytime you'd like! :D

I don't think the postage costs too much if you don't care how long it takes to get here.  The faster you want it to arrive, the more costly it is.  So just get the cheapest postage, and it'll eventually make it's way here. 

Our Address is:
Suite #15F-1
No. 188, Section 3, Cheong Hsin Rd.
San Cheong Area,
New Taipei City,
Taiwan

:D

Movember - Asian Edition

As promised, I am posting some pictures of our Movember party.  We had about 10-15 friends over on Saturday night.  It was our first time hosting a gathering at our apartment and it was rather lovely.  We have a lot of space, with a bar in our kitchen and we also discovered we have surround sound speakers.  So, all in all it was a good time had by all.  It was overwhelmingly handsome in the room with all the mustaches.  We will have to do it again sometime!

Asian Movember

My favourite month of the year - Movember.  Tis the season for the showcasing of the mustache, while supporting the awareness of prostate cancer.  I always love this month back home as I think mustaches are hilarious, and seeing friends, family and random people on the street sporting a stache makes November truly enjoyable.  Just because I am across the world does not stop me from enjoying the month.  Mark had a beard growing for most of October, and in true Movember style, he shaved the beard leaving nothing but a legendary upper lip decoration for all to enjoy in Taipei.  I also made other male friends here in Taipei aware of the month, so our friend Jaime from the U.K. has a nice one growing as well.  I am planning on having a Movember get together next weekend to showcase some of Taipei's finest mustaches.  Stay tuned for pictures.  For now, here is some beautiful pics of our Asian inspired Movember to tide you over:

Taiwan Kindy Halloween

This Halloween was rather different than most.  I didn't do my normal dress up, go out to party Halloween routine, but I did have a great time with my kindy kids!!!  They are absolutely adorable, and the loves of my life every morning Monday-Friday.  Add a Halloween costume to their cuteness and they are RIDICULOUSLY adorable!  Here are some lovely pictures of our Halloween celebration, going trick or treating and showing off costumes. 



The class and some of their parents




I am in love with this kid.




He is also another fave.

Singing trick or treat.

Singing again to get some candy!



Very fun Halloween!  Can't believe it is already November.  It's 27 degrees and sunny right now! I was outside in a tanktop.. ahh love it!  Hope everyone had a swell Halloween back home!  Now Movember has begun, get those staches growing!
