I suppose any good brick-oven pizza restaurant should have a sleeping dog sprawled in the doorway. #sofreepizza #taipei2017 #growlsateverycustomer

Thanks to traveling with young boys we are well acquainted with way too many train station bathrooms in Taipei. #taipei2017 #youhavetopoopagain!? #westerntoiletorsquattypotty #morepoop!?

Best Street Food Dessert Yet: Poh Pia (like a crepe) wrapped around ice cream and, the coup de grace, plentiful peanut brittle shavings. #taipei2017 #taipeidelicacy

We almost didn't recognize our quiet little alley with the setting sun and sudden street vendors all around! #taipei2017 #asianstreetvendorsareamazing

Taipei 101's huge wind dampener hanging around #ballnotboys It swayed a meter during one typhoon to keep the skyscraper intact. #holyengineeringbatman

Today is Qingming Festival, a day the Chinese culture honors their ancestors. Hong Kong has lots of graves in the mountains such as this one. #gravesweeping #qingmingfestival

The boys like to play the Old World's version of "Sorry!": Airplane Chess! Shortcuts and stackable pieces make it tricky. #boardgames #airplanechess
