Some of you have commented about how nice the open spaces are, well this is a suburban community and its nice in that just around the corner there are kids and other parents to mix with, our home in taipei was a bit far from everyone else. Here it seems nate's good friends are the ones outside of his school.
I posted 2 pics of the 12 foot wall and electric fencing. Its not visiable from where we are but this is what "protects" the community. There is also alot of security at the gates, more as a deterrent. They also check the bags of the domestics and call me to check if I gave them items that they carry out. We all need passes to get in. Several moms that I have spoken to moved here because they were attacked in their own homes, one when she was 8 months pregnant had a gun pointed to her belly.
Anyway, today i take ike on his morning walk and see like these big grubby maomao cong's (caterpillars) crossing the road! Funny the birds had not spotted them, they were really big, like 3 inches long and fat. When we first got here there were swarms of tiny frogs, not bigger than 1 cm each, hopping all over the place.
I also finally got a pair of crocs, they are really comfy and easy to slip on and off. Too bad they didn't have a pink or sky blue so i settled for off white. I highly recommend them!
Here's a pic of a hen at one of the playground areas of a child friendly restaurant that I took nate to. 3 other mom's were there and the kids played well with each other. We now have them negotiating among themselves and not interfering and letting them settle their own disputes.
