Taiwan, Taipei...Day 3

I woke up feeling very exhausted but very happy...this morning was not to be so rushed as it was the day for family...first up was lunch with the Lai family and the kids. They have all grown so much its scary. Jacky is taller than me now! Crazy stuff...all the other kids are as naughty as ever but so sweet.

Feeling rather full and saying my goodbyes I headed to Uncle Lawrences office to chill out before dinner with the family. I fell asleep on two chairs for a while which was nice...after averaging around 4-5 hours of sleep per night I was gratefull for the rest!

So later on we headed to a great buffet type Thai restraunt at Zhong Zun Ji Nian Guan. Some seriously kick ass spicy food and Xi mi Lu to cool the stomach....hmmm...I think I had like 4 bowls of the stuff. Uncle Lawrence, Auntie Amy and Ehtsi were there, along with Andrew, Henry, Shirley and Sally sou sou and of course the ever growing princess VIVI. Henry gaga who advised me that he has been exercising non stop for ages now has lost soooo much weight! Good for him man...def good to be healthy! I believe I ate wayyyy too much rice and Xi mi Lu due to my fierce competition with Andrew Ga Ga...hahahha!

After random messages between Kyla and Anthony I met Kyla in Dong Chu and I thought we could head to the cool european style cafe I went with Mai-chan and Anthony last time I was in Taiwan. Before getting there I spotted a cool looking cafe...damn it cant remember the name now but it was well cool. Very french indeed I thought with an amazing array of coffees and teas. So after bantering a while and giving Kyla her pressies Anthony waddled in and advised me that he nad I quote "hated this place"...hahaha...the guy is too high class nowadays! Not far behined anthony was of course Henry which completed the group for the night. After many a random conversation I decided, and note it was I not anyone else (haha!) decided that KTV needed to be on the menu for the evening! Henry was bitching from the start that he was tired and needed early rest so that he could get up at 5am to go play golf with his dad. We rapidly headed to Cashbox on Nan Jing Asia World and found there to be a HUGE ass crowd of serious Taiwanese YOYO outside. Charming!

After an hours wait and with Henry gone much to my dismay we got a room and finally my KTV adventures had begun. Anthony did this great Kenji song... "so powerfull yet sensitive..." I advised Kyla who nodded her head in admiration! hahahha...ahh bruv! Later on Ants work mate the lovely Olga from Russia who has perfect Chinese (yes there are real Olgas in the world) joined us. After a rousing rendition of Summer Lovin with Olga and with Anthony fast asleep on the couch we headed home.

Another almost perfect day...will this dream ever end!?
