Taiwan 2014 Day 2 - Baby Boss

Cabbed down to Baby Boss early this morning. This was one place which we have heard so much about and after so much fun at Kidzania (Jakarta) in June, Jill was definitely looking forward to this one. Best part was, Jen could finally take part with his sister as he has turned 3! Reviews on forum were mainly on how crowded this place was going to be etc but to our relief, we had picked the right day to go! A Friday morning! Place was relatively empty and from 10am to 3pm, we could do 6 / 7 activities which by my pov, was good enough. I remembered that Kidzania in Jakarta was soooo crowded (add dark to that as well, lighting was bad), we had to jostle with so people and so little time to do anything as every work station had such a long queue!

They started off being an astrounaut, a natural choice since it was just at the entrance. I've no idea what was happening inside as no parents are allowed in. All we could see was them donning spacesuits, go in and exiting a spaceshuttle, landed on the "moon", analyzed some rocks, attended a short tutorial and zipped back to earth. Whole experience took them about 30 mins... gosh, litle kids in spacesuits, ultimate cuteness!


This was soon followed by a farmer at a cow ranch where the kids were taught all the tasks and routines that a typical farmer does in a day.


The fire fighter, A&E assistant, gas pump attendant, airline crew and ended off with Jill's last stop as a hotel chambermaid! Jen was fast asleep by the last one so it was just Jill alone. On hindsight, we could have extended our half day pass to a full day one, given that Jill wanted to do so much more and Jen would have regained his energy after his seista but we didn't. In any case, the afternoon session had many more kids who probably have just ended school.







The kids had their share of fun, definitely beats shopping aimlessly and were rather bummed that we ended the day at Ximending *mummy sniggles*... but that was really the last night market that we headed to for the entire trip.
