i'm going in early Nov with just my hb and my boy. Yah, F&E. What's there to see in Hua Lian?

mashy,
nov to dec got han liu, means cold air, temp may drop to 9 degree, usually abt 15 to 20 degree.
so prepare sufficient clothes.
the weather in taiwan is windy. the cold not so bad but the wind is killer. so wind breaker is a must.
Hua lian got a national park, very nice, that time I go cannot go tracking so I stay at the zhao feng nun chang, farm stay. very nice, can pick fruits.
hua lian is where the ah mei ppl is, got very nice mozhi.
the night market also quite interesting, I forget the name liao.
near hua lian at jiao xi got very good hot spring. can stay at one of the hotels there. very nice. but is alkaline hot spring, so can wear swim suit.
the acid type must strip, that one is in taipei yang ming shan.
one thing to highlight, the hotel stay in taipei is expensive, abt 150 to 200 sgd per night, the cheaper one not so good, got ppl go there for hanky panky one, so if you bring kid along, chose wisely. can try the ymca, near taipei train station and mrt, usually fully book so must book early.
drink water only bottled water. buy from 7-11 kind of store. never boil tap water to drink unless you check with them is okay. usually cannot drink one. unless you stay in 5 star hotel. keke..
if you can understand chinese, can try this website, www.eztravel.com.tw

haha, true true. Is C still sleeping with hb n u? You co-sleep or he sleeps on his own bed in ur room? i'm wondering if my girl can handle sleeping on her own coz she'll doze off on our bed. only when she's asleep then we'll carry her down to her own mattress on the floor. sometimes if she wakes in the middle of the nite, she'll climb back on the bed and sleep betw hb n i.

i'm going tokyo. Just going to go R&R lor. Coz been there twice before already. Now just go and catch the autumn leaves and enjoy the food. It's so cheap there. U can get a decent sushi lunch set for 1000y and that's only $13.50! And it's so fresh!

hahaha. have u been there? if you have, u will realise that they have very low inflation there compared to ours. So what was expensive for us before is no longer so. It has actually become cheaper (relative to Singapore) for some stuff in Japan... The prices are the same there 10yrs ago and now. Food wise, it's still better, fresher over there esp the sushi and sashimi.

hey mummies, i read an article saying if kids drk milk then go to sleep directly without brushing their teeth will cause tooth decay. so does it mean we hv to let them drk their milk first then br them go brush teeth then put them to bed??? like dat they still will sleep meh? j usually is brush teeth then drk milk on bed and go to sleep le. what abt yr kiddos?
hello mummies
Hua lian sounds good but i dun think my hubby will want to travel to china.

Haven gone shopping yet. any mummies know what is cheap in Sidney?

i brush my boy's teeth after milk before he sleeps at night. He hates it, but we still does it. So he'll scream and shut his mouth and we'll shove it right in.

apr, may, june time
weather warmer, qbt 20 to 25. quite sunny. less rain. lots of fruits in season from june to july. the mangoes very nice, ai wen mang guo with shaved ice. yummy
watermelon, papaya, peaches, longan and lychee also in season during the three months.
dec to feb is strawberry, I ever pick strawberry in taiwan, quite interesting.
nov to jan got the permison (haha, dunno the spelling , is shi zi )and he zhen zhu.
friuts and veg very nice in taiwan.
but hot spring is best enjoy in dec to feb time. can drink the san yao tang in yang mi shan. shiok!
depends on whether you are adventurous and ok in mandarin? if ok, free and easy very good way to travel. else better go tour at least once before free and easy. but unless you are willing to drive around (can be quite dangerous), maybe need to plan the places of interest.

yups, i did hear smthg abt the research going into manufacturing FM so tt it'll taste so gd, kids wil be addicted to it. also read tt they dont use the best stuff for FM.
they save that for the fresh milk, but tt is also 'dirty'. my fren's ex-stdt's studying F&N in US said its cuz teh processing isnt very stringent...
for teh longest time, C used to hv green poo...until i stop'd using fresh milk to cook her food/put in her cereal.
am try'g to wean C to drink'g soya milk instead, but its a slow process. she stil likes her FM better!
C also sleeps frog-style haha & i read fr dr sears site tt tt actually contributes to bow-leggedness. i tried to shift her to slp on her back, but within 10 min, she rolls back. in teh last fortnite or so, she's slp'g more on her back, but stil rolls all over the crib & smtimes gets her legs stuck betwn the slats of teh crib!
C's going thru this phase where she hates to brush her teeth...think its cuz i brushed them teh last time she was teething & it hurt/traumatised her
now each session is so hard & i know i'm not doing a thorough job...

i don't like facebook. My friend asked me to sign up and when i did, they asked me for my email's password. Think it's not wise to anyhow give your email's password away. they could get into your email and get some vital info from you. So my advice is, stay out of it.
Or create a brand new email just for this. Don't use this email address for personal use.

well, i don't approve of them asking for my password as it's personal. It's just like asking for your bank acct pin no. If one of their employees abuse it, like doing illegal stuff with your email address, access your email acct etc, there's nothing u can do abt it. And u know, sometimes u send your credit card details, with expiry dates etc out, these info can be abused. They can use these info to make online purchases easily. Thought u should be more wary abt such things and not take security for granted.
