My kids go to summer camp in Taipei. They get to learn Chinese and it's cheaper than in the US.

• Almost every summer, I travel to Taiwan in order to enroll my children in local summer camps.
• I can send my four kids to a full week's camp — including lunch — for cheaper than the US. 
• My children are immersed in my culture and can practice speaking Chinese with locals.

Every year, it seems like the rush to sign my kids up for summer camp begins earlier and earlier.
