Saturday in Miaoli
Many thanks to MJ & Hui-Chen for inviting us to a BBQ party at the Miaoli cabin and we are also very grateful to Becky and family for their hospitality at the cabin. MJ has already written a detailed account on the day with loads of food pictures. What a wonderful place it is to spend a weekend relaxing, bbqing, listening to great music and talking with friends.
The weather was perfect and the drive to the cabin provided some spectacular views. At times I felt like I was in Hualien. Here are couple pictures from the day.
I had to DIY this shade for susan as the Sun was on her side most of the time.
We did meet a passing shower though.
Since it was our first time to the cabin we obviously lost our way among Miaoli mountain roads and were waiting for the someone to show us the sideroad to the cabin.
The party was in full swing by this time and soon we brought the monster TV out in the porch for a KTV session. Boy that TV must have weighed more than 50 kg. Never knew they could be so heavy.
Everyone enjoyed the small farm in front of the cabin. Caleb, David and John had lots of fun throwing the ball. I am sure Caleb had great time playing and thereafter catching shrimps later in the evening.
In the meantime we were pulling our parental duties. We recently had Susan’s hair cut short.

Later in the evening we went to Aadong’s new place in Hukou for dinner. Thanks again MJ and Hui-chen for accompanying us for the dinner. It was a great fun hanging out with everyone; MJ & Hui-chen, Carrie, John and Caleb, David and Catherine and Neil and family at the cabin and we are looking forward to more future parties there.
GREAT photo of HC’s mom Ashish! glad you guys could make it!
Thanks MJ. That photo is also my favorite from the day. It was wonderful meeting Hui-chen’s mom. Too bad I couldn’t talk to her due to my limited Chinese skills. She reminded me a lot of my mother and Susan was really calm the whole time she was with Hui-chen’s mom.
Terrific photos, Ashish. It was great to see you again and meet the whole family for the first time. Little Susan is just as cute as can be. We hope to see you soon, and thanks again for the books. I’ll be sure to bring you some good ones the next time we meet!
Thanks Carrie :) It was fun meeting you too. Sorry I didn’t get enough pictures of everyone. I wasn’t really in photography mood, more in the relaxing mood and/or busy with Susan. No rush about the books though. I am might be very busy finding new job anyways in coming months.
Great Pics Sir…. Specially Susan with Hui-chen’s mom She is looking so cute… Great work….
Thanks Anurag :) It has been long time since we last met. Lets hang out coming weekend. I bought some Sang Som thai rum last saturday. You should try it.

Thanks Ribbon :) Yes we had wonderful time there. Its my pleasure if I could of any help. Let me know if you still have any technical issues.
I agree. I wasn’t in much of a mood for photography either. I was too busy stuffing my face! :-)
I understand Carrie. You were also busy belting one beautiful song after another too ;-) It’s a pleasure to hear you sing. You have an amazing voice.
Great pics Ashish. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Craig :) Hope you can make it next time. Looking forward to see you at the Taipei photowalk.
