A group of friends who have known each other since elementary school flew to Taipei to celebrate their 40th birthdays! Though it was rainy, it was a beautiful, quiet afternoon to enjoy a Michelin-recommended restaurant. How sweet it is to have friendships that extend through the decades and stand the test of time. I hope my friends and I do the same thing when we reach 40 ;)
