Santa's Elves At Work At Taipei 101

I heard from a reliable source that Santa's elves  have set up shop on the 4th floor (by the entrance of Page One bookstore), Taipei 101.  I also heard that this is a very impressive workshop and a "must see" for the kids.

2010 Nov 27 - Taipei European School Christmas Bazaar

I took my children to this Christmas Bazaar last year, and they had a great time.  Actually, so did I.  This bazaar caters for the whole family.  There are many games for the children to play, handicrafts for sale, international food tables, and raffles to take part in, all in a large, child-friendly space where parents can relax while their children play.

Run by the Parents Support Council, part of the proceeds go to charity.  This makes the event a nice way for you to have fun and to give something for Christmas, too.

Bazaar date and time:  Saturday Nov 27th, 10am-4pm.
Venue: Taipei European School (727 Wenlin Road, Shilin, by ZhiShan MRT station)
