Ming-Zong is a Video Game Fiend!

Ming-Zong's first night with us went great.  He slept through the night without any problems and woke up happy and ready to start the day.  The three of us would be playing Nintendo DS 24-7 if he had his way!  :)  All he wants to do is race on Mario Kart or sometimes take a short break to play Angry Birds. 

Mike and I are having to work hard to schedule other things to break up video game playing.  It will be easier once we get home and can get on a regular schedule.  It's not so easy here because we don't have as many resources to pull from.  The other issue is it is hot, hot, hot and HUMID outside.  We did find a shaded grassy area this afternoon to throw a football around for a bit.  None of us lasted more than 20 minutes before we were exhausted and covered in sweat.  :)

One thing I will say is Ming-Zong has picked up a few English words from our video game stints.  His newly acquired vocabulary includes "ok", "oh no", and "banana".  :)  He just cracks us up.  He doesn't seem to mind too much if Mike sometimes beats him but for some reason it makes him mad if I do.  Haven't figured that one out yet.

We did tour the upper floors of the Taipei 101 today and all enjoyed that.  So, to recap the day so far - wake up, Nintendo DS, breakfast, Nintendo DS, car ride with Nintendo DS, Taipei 101, Nintendo DS, lunch, Nintendo DS, walk back to hotel, Nintendo DS, football in the park, and we're back to Nintendo DS.  Lord help us!  :)  Mr. Yeh will pick us up at 7:30 to go to the Night Market.  Excited about that!

  1. The pictures are great ~ you all looking like you're having a good time and Ming's smile is infectious! I'm glad you're getting to see different parts of Taipei City than we saw last December. Hope night two is as successful as the first. M♥M
