Father's Day in Taipei

Hey, that rhymed! Anyway, on Thursday, August 5th, my mom and I went up too Taipei (again) to celebrate Father's Day with my Ah-gong (means grandfather). That same day, I accompanied my cousin to her piano lessons, and that night, I accompanied her to her belly dance lessons. My aunt and my cousin came on Friday, and together, we went to eat at the vegetarian restaurant we went to just last month, when we celebrated my Ah-gong's birthday, only this time, we were celebrating Father's Day.
