我们 到了! (Wǒmen dàole!) We arrived!

On 12/8/12 at 11:00 pm (Taipei time), after 21+ hours, we arrived at Taoyuan International Airport.

 We had arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport, however there was no one holding a sign with our names on it :(  We waited a while, and then concluded we were going to have to find our own way to the apartment...I don't blame the guy our flight was two hours late.

With bus tickets, a map, & help from a few locals we were in our apartment by 3:00 am (12/9/12).

12/10/12- Monday afternoon, our first thought was, "assimilate". So, we went to try the local cuisine. Now I know what you are thinking, but this chicken sandwich is made out of dark meat...white meat is used in the U.S. of A.  

Ordering our meals was actually quite a challenge, I would start out in Chinese then throw in an English word like "Cheese", then the young cashier girl would burst out laughing & look around for a fellow co-worker that could possibly translate the word "Cheese".
