Final farewell in Taipei, Taiwan

We were able to use up the last day of our Japan Rail Pass to get to Kansai Airport to catch a flight back to Taipei for the last time. Taipei was a place to get cheap flights to Japan with the national airline EVA air. We had 2 nights here before heading for Manila, The Philippines.



We reunited with George Su and his daughter Karen and her husband Rong Fu. We were hopeful of seeing Karen and Rong Fu's baby but it was not to be. Karen was finding the last few days of the pregnancy tiring but we managed a day of sightseeing together.





George loves food so we were treated to a farewell feast. We are both suffering the effects of overeating in Taiwan and Japan and are looking forward to dieting in The Philippines! We have loved both the Taiwanese and Japanese food very much.

It was another sad time to leave George and his family and we look forward to the day when Karen and Rong Fu visit New Zealand with their son to see her sister Clare and brother-in-law Graham. We hope they will also bring George, Uncle Su, and Jenny and Jack and their 3 children too.
