Chiayi

We spent the majority of our trip in Chiayi, visiting with my grandmother (Jia Jia's lao lao lao).  It was hot and humid, and Jia Jia complained each morning about not liking Taiwan because it was so hot.

my grandmother in her "i'm 18" outfit.  super cute, and unbelievable that she is 80.  in fact, siri told me that she didn't think lao lao lao looked old.
