A trip to Sandimen and meeting Matt and Molly (and Kim)....

Saturday (21 April) we met up with Molly and Matt and Matt's mom Kim, who are from the USA, and who I met on my yahoo adoption group, and we all went to Sandimen - the Aborigine Cultural Centre.


It was an interesting experience to say the least! We had been once before (before we had Asia-Faith), and we also went with a friend who lives here. This time we went on our own so we had to find it on our own! What fun!!!


We caught a bus to Pingtung and Matt and Molly's train arrived at 10:30 am (they were comming from Tainan), then from there we caught a bus to Sandimen (although not to the centre), then we had to try and find a way to the centre. We found a taxi, but then had to try and explain where we were wanting to go! Well, we had to make a call or 2 to some friends who explained to the taxi driver where we wanted to go - we eventually made it there! We had a wonderful time watching the show and looking around at all the souvenier (sp?) shops!

It meant so much more to us now that we have our own little Ami Aborigine daughter!


Matt and Molly were here in Taiwan to fetch their little boy Malone who they have adopted, and he is from the Paiwan tribe. We didn't get to meet him in person unfortunately as they were only fetching him on the Monday, but we have seen pictures of him and he is absolutely beautiful!


So we all had a wonderful time together, and it was just so awesome to finally meet these friends after chatting for so long in cyberspace!


Enjoy the pics....
