One of the excitements about Hualien is the air base here where F15s train daily and put on quite a show over the city. Also there are periodic " air raid drills" in preparation of attacks by (communist China?) foreign enemies.....
When the air siren goes off, the whole city is under curfew with no one allowed outside except military and police. The whole town stands still and it is dead quiet, really weird. Life resumes only after another siren goes off, which takes about half hour, indicating the drill is over. Frankie and her friends enjoyed that, as there was a sleep over.....
Bebe is nine and Yoyo is eight. They are daughters of Dr. Pong, who has just returned from USA with his family a year ago, therefore, it is great opportunity for the three girls to practise their English together.
