Night market and aquarium with our friends the Frys

Vance and Marci and their daughter Mikayla are friends of ours. Often Marci and Vivian will get together so Mikayla and Fiona can play. They also have a blog: frypics.blogspot.com, which happens to have some photos of Fiona and Vivian on it!
Recently all of us went out to the RaoHe Night Market for some snacks and entertainment. Gareth and Vance rode their bikes to get thereStopping for some Pakistani meat wraps... mmmm
Shan zhu rou -- wild boar! One of these days I will stop here and order a plate I don't know what this is called, but it's a very old Chinese beauty treatment. The ladies have their faces powdered with flour, then a thread is used to extract hairs and make the skin look prettier The symbol of the RaoHe Night Market: A night owl. This makes me think of Studio Classroom's own owl logo :-) About a week later we all took a trip to the Fins Taipei aquarium in ShiLin. Since Fiona is such a big fan of fish, we thought she would enjoy the outing Lots of colorful tropical fish on display, plus anemones and other creatures Cool jellyfish
Don't know what this thing is -- some kind of crustacean
A placid-looking octopus regards us from his home

A clownfish... we found Nemo!

The cool creature in the shell is a nautilus :-) I really like the picture of Fiona looking at the fish.
