We had a wonderful outing to Yingge (also referred to as Yingko) – the pottery capital of Asia. The town has a terrific array of shops and hands on pottery stations. Check out the photos of the boys (James is one of the boys). They had fun producing the next generation of Ming vases. So much fun that the day slipped by without making it to the Ceramics Museum.
In the evening we went out to the Shih Lin market. What a crazy zoo! The highlight of the market was watching the quick shutdowns as the police popped by (many retailers are there illegally!). Despite the throngs, we managed to buy a few things!

JOEY, BRENDAN, RYAN & DEB - AND JAMES & ANITA:
ReplyDeleteIT WAS GREAT TO BE INVITED INTO YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOME VIA SKYPE. Thank you James and Anita for being such wonderful friends to our family! What a great time we had Skyping...missed speaking with Ryan and the ladies though. So, it was midnight and after a very busy day.
Ming pottery - OK did you get to fire it and take it with you? Joey indicated your bags are bulging at this point in your AROUND THE WORLD TRIP. It is important for me to know also that toilets around the world are going in the same direction!
Brendan - You are very animated and CUTE. Love your six-pack WOW.
Ryan - Missed talking with you the other night - next time hopefully. Meanwhile, I have a question. Just randomly (randomly being the operative word here) send me an email with ONE or TWO "MENSA FOR KIDS" questions. I'm curious to have an insight into where you are.
Deb - OK so you were sleeping after a long, long day and night-shopping. I understand. Sometimes shopping is a tiring as mueseming!
JAMES, once again, it was nice speaking with you and I was glad to see photos of your wife, Anita since I did not get to speak with her. Hope to meet you both one day (likely in Canada rather than Taiwan if you move back?)
Joey, you are looking great and HAPPY! Yeah! You're the BEST. You are SOOOO Loved and the whole FAMILY TOO. Cn't wait to see you all when you return. LOVE, Judie & Mats & the Cats
HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!!! OH CANADA! HOPE ALL'S STILL WELL - WHERE ARE YOU NOW? I LOVE YOU ALL. LOVE, JUDIE & MATS & THE CATS.
