Blackbeary jr.'s Taoyuan Travel Journal #1

 Blackbeary jr.'s Taoyuan Travel Journal #1

Hi friends! Blackbeary jr. had an amazing week at Taoyuan Elementary School in Taiwan! First, we had an exciting unboxing event to welcome Blackbeary jr. and check out gifts from McDonald International School. Then, teachers from Wenguang English Village visited us! We played fun games like Beyblade battles, a campus treasure hunt, and Bingo. Check out our photos below!
