Taitung, Taiwan


Clare`s cousin invited us to stay with him and his family to learn about Taiwanese family life.We visited Clares`s grandfather`s house and the village temple. Clare`s dad was brought up in this area and we had lots of the family members dropping in to chat. A niece and nephew came to practice their English as well.

Clare`s brother at his shop in the night market area. It opens at about 4pm and closes between 12 and 2am!
Visiting the old family home which is built in the "3 house" style around an open area. Part of the house was made from bamboo with mud, rice husks and cow dung walls.This area used to house the animals: pigs, ducks and cows.
