Fun in Taipei

On Friday afternoon, my mom and I took the HSR (High Speed Rail) back to Taipei to see my grandparents and my cousin. We had so much fun. On our first night, my mom and I went to the night market. The next day, my aunt, my mom, my cousin, and I went to an art store. We took the bus there. That same night, all four of us, plus my grandparents went to this delicious vegetarian food restaurant. The next day, I hanged around with my cousin, and I helped her with her English. We got home on Monday, around 2 p.m. Here are some pictures! (Picture on the left is me wearing my cousin's wig.)
