Quick Trip to Danshuei

Craig likes sitting on a bench on an MRT station platform and watching the trains come and go. On this day, Craig and his parents travelled up to Danshui by MRT.

Unfortunately, Craig fell asleep on the train just 10 minutes before they arrived at their destination. Craig's Dad suggested they go to a hotel across the street from the station to allow Craig to continue to nap. But Craig ruined that plan by waking up just as his Dad was putting him to bed. Soon, his Mum was tired but Craig was running around looking for games to play.


Craig's Dad bought rice burgers and fries for lunch. Craig liked that.


When they went downstairs for a walk along the riverfront, Craig refused to walk.


And, when Craig's Mum tried to take a picture of Craig he usually didn't want to sit still.


Eventually they sat in a Starbucks while Craig played with the containers for the milk and sugar.


Craig really likes chewing on the little plastic containers that you get at coffee shops here that have the liquid sugar and coffee creamer in them.


He spent quite a bit of time hanging out and chewing.


That was good because it gave Craig's Mum and Dad achance to rest and enjoy the view.





Craig's Dad thinks that some of the English graffitti in Taiwan is quite bizarre.


Craig is becoming better at striking a pose when the camera is pointed at him.


So far his only pose is left hand in his pants-pocket.


Before heading for home, Craig's parents tried to take a picture of Craig with his Dad in front of the river view but cooperation was not forthcoming.


Craig was more cooperative when having his picture taken with his Mum.
