Ok I admit it... it did get cold here last week. Right after we returned home from our really warm Vacation the temp dropped. We now have winter in Taiwan... a freezing 59 degrees. It was a cold front that came in for about a week... now however the weather is back up to 70 and all is well. Happy New Year to you!!!! We did get involved in the New Year fun here in Taipei. We, amongst 3 million other people, went to the Taipei 101 building to ring in the new year. We not only felt like sardines, we literally could pick up our feet and not drop to the pavement. There were so many people out on the streets that the radio was giving advice on what to do in a stampeed. The city shut down all the surrounding streets of the 101 Building. We live about five blocks away and our streets where filled with people. It was a fun way to spend our last minutes of 07. The 101 building is Taiwan's pride and joy. Up until the last couple of months it was the tallest building in the world. This is the last year (supposidly) for the firework show. We just had to be there. That night the Subway system here set a record of moving 1.6 million passangers to that location just in the hour leading up to and after the celebration. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! LOVE TAY BEAN AND JACK.

We were so sad to miss this and really jealous of you! Looks like you had a blast.
What an adventure your time in Taipaei has been! It is really neat hearing your stories!! Miss you guys!
Yeah new posts! I was wondering how the New Year was for you guys... those pictures of the sunrise at the pacific was a trip. Isn't it crazy to think we share the same ocean... but are just on other sides of it. I miss you! Tell J and Tay hi from Robbie and I! Love you!
Hey Jocelyn! I has been so fun to get caught up with you here on your blog. I am totally jealous of this great adventure you are on in Taipei. I feel like I haven't seen you forever! I saw Greg at Costco the other day but I don't think he recognized me cuz he just looked at me like 'Do I know you & why are you smiling at me?' I think I creeped him out! :0) Anyway-come see me at www.canyoukeepupwithjones.blogspot.com. See ya...
