Baby gaga Taipei

I was surprised by how crazy people are about babies in Taipei. People would see me from across the room and walk over to say hi. Everyone kept touching my cheeks, head, feet, everything! Perhaps I brought it upon myself because every time a stranger talked to me, I started smiling! Someone commented that I was so smiley, that they would look over at me to find that I was already smiling at them! My friendliness encouraged them to touch me, much to my Mom's surprise - over and over again. I was passed around and held by almost every relative; all the kids wanted to kiss me. Maybe that's why I had a cold the entire time I was in Taipei. I was irresistible!
