Spring Break Reunion

Wei Sing Goh

For one day in Taipei, a group of seniors met up with an old friend who went to Dalat International School back in middle school.

A group of seniors, Sam Huang, Jerald Lim, Felicia Teoh, Jarrod Chang, and Christy Chow, were going to Taipei, Taiwan for their ACSC track meet. Upon further planning, the seniors decided to leave for Taiwan ahead of time so they could spend their spring break there before the track meet. Coincidentally, Wei Sing Goh (12) and Jessica Hsiao were also going to be in Taiwan during that time. Goh’s family had decided to visit and tour Taiwan during spring break and Hsiao, an ex Dalat student now studying in Shanghai American School, was returning to Taiwan during her spring break to visit her relatives.

On Monday afternoon at around 4 p.m., Jessica Hsiao arrived in Taipei International Airport and met up with Wei Sing Goh at the 1914 Creative Park, which features a bunch of small cafes and art shops. After walking around for a bit, they went for a quick bite at Krispy Kreme before meeting up with the rest of the seniors for dinner.

When the two groups met up outside the train station, hugs were exchanged as the seniors had not seen Hsiao in years. The group then decided to have dinner at Din Tai Fung, one of Taiwan’s most famous restaurants. Due to its popularity among Taiwanese people, as well as foreigners, the group had to wait approximately twenty minutes before being seated. As predicted, the food was definitely worth the wait.

As Huang said, “The food was amazing.”


After dinner, the seniors went to the night market for another round of street food. With their stomachs full and content, Wei Sing sent Jessica and Sam back to their homes, while the rest of the seniors continued shopping for a bit before heading back to Sam’s house.
