Moving to a new country, to a new culture can mess up well established holiday traditions.
No way around it.
That truth became a stark reality four years ago while celebrating our first Christmas in Taiwan.
Not wanting to permanently scar our children, we looked for ways to adapt current traditions and possibly add new traditions.
One of our attempts was successful.
Kenting.
Kenting is at the southern tip of the island.
That can only mean two things- warmer temperatures and water, lots of water!
So, every Christmas break for the last four years, we have found our way to the beach.
That is not a peace sign, but rather a V for vacation!
I'm not the only happy person in the car!
Majestic bridge.
Stopped at this "mom and pop" tea shop several years ago and now no trip to Kenting is complete without a visit.
Which tea belongs to who? Wait- I ordered half sugar, full ice.
Waiting to get into our room, but thats ok- free wifi!
Great for families- 6 person room with 6 twin beds!
Great for the kids, at least.
This post is a prefix.
Or a warning.
Pictures of beaches and beautiful sunsets may fill my next couple blogs.
Avoid if you are tired of seeing Taiwan's amazing beauty.
I just can't stop myself from sharing God's handiwork!
