Travel to Taiwan

We just returned from my kids' first trip to Taiwan and they had quite a blast! It was both a cultural experience as well as a chance to visit some extended family that they have never met. Although all the kids are older now and flying should be easier, we were still a little worried about how it would be managing four kids on such a long flight. At the end of the day... not too bad...

Here are a couple of things that stood out to me about the travel itself...

In flight entertainment is key
personal screens for movies, tv shows, and even video games...

Japanese airline has brilliant cup holder...

I wonder why all airlines have not adopted this.

Look... hardly any room to put the drinks... and so slippery it's no wonder we had so many spills!

compare to this... it's brilliant!

and even when the tray is closed, there is a place to put the drink... again... brilliant!

Japan's airport has a very mamma friendly play area and right next to it was this... 

 

 a place to make baby bottles...  a private room to nurse or pump... and a baby changing area!

Bidets with heated seats are standard

you can control the temperature of the water wash as well as the temp of the seat!

More on the actual trip later...
