We met Matthew yesterday morning. We were all a little nervous. It was a little awkward at first. We met at Government Child Service Building. The plan was to have lunch together and go from there. The foster family invited us to their noodle house for lunch. They had a private room off to the side which was perfect. Matthew served us all soda and was the perfect host. He was a little uncomfortable because he knew all the adults where talking about him, but it was a great way to break the ice. He was on his home turf.
After lunch we went back to the government building and played with toys, puzzled, colored and interacted with Matthew. It was just our family so it was kind of nice.
He’s a very sweet boy. Everyone loves him. He smiles easily was very interested in Jon-Boy.
We left around 5:30 and had dinner at a restaurant across the street. We were all very tired, but everyone found something on the menu that they were willing to try. We even used chop sticks!
The accommodations in Taipei were great. Taipei is the capital of Taiwan. It’s a very nice city, with great mass transit. They have everything from TIG Fridays to Dunkin Donuts. Taichung, the city where Matthew lives is about three hours south west of Taipei. The accommodations are well “interesting”.
The kids have been great. The time change is affecting Jon-boy the most. He has a hard time “keeping it together” in the afternoon.
We are hoping to head back to Taipei tomorrow night.
