German-style Christmas Fair at Bethany Elementary School

Bethany Elementary School is holding a two-day event this weekend (Dec 3-4).  The school is near Gongguan MRT station, behind the Gongguan market/opposite Tri-Services hospital on Ting Zhou Road.  It's within walking distance of the Taipei Water Museum, too, so you can go to the museum and then head to the early-evening event if you have the time.

The market will have food, games, activities, and live music.
Date: Dec. 3-4, 2010

Time: 5:00-8:30pm

Place: Bethany School

#97, Section 3, Ting Zhou Road

Kaohsiung County Cultural Affairs Bureau's List of Monthly Activities

I was searching for the October performance by Hakka group Paper Windmill, and stumbled across this gem of a site.  It is an English-language listing of activities being run around Kaohsiung County, many of which are family-oriented.

If you go to the link for September, you will see a detailed list of reading sessions, movies, performances, workshops, and even cycling daytrips, that you and your family could enjoy this month.  And the information is detailed enough that a person not able to read Chinese could make it to the events easily.

Da Vinci the Genius (Feb 12-May 13, 2010)

This exhibit has been described as suitable for children on other sites, so I am adding it here.  The feature of the Taipei exhibit will be "The 25 Secrets of Mona Lisa".
