For our last dinner with the kids and their families, we went to a fantastic Japanese restaurant. I gave the kids my camera, and one of them took this picture of Sabrina and me.

We went to a seafood restaurant and ordered fruit tea, which was delicious. In the teapot: pineapple, apple, sweet tomato, and guava, among other fruits.

Seven:

camera
Sabrina mentioned she wanted a dSLR, so I gave her mine to play with. What better place to play with a camera than a temple?

Eight:

jungle
For brunch on the day we left, we went to Dizzy Jungle in Nanliao with Hannah. It was the perfect farewell.

Nine:

movie
Our layover in Beijing was 17 hours, and started with the most ridiculous, longest wait in security. Finally, we were set loose in the airport and found a yoga and meditation room, where we stretched, lay on the mats, and watched Pitch Perfect on my laptop.

After the yoga room, we found reclined chairs in individually-encased little stalls that faced the night. We set up shop and slept a few hours until dawn.
