Quite a few students travel a considerable distance to attend the Taipei School, and some mothers make a point of personally sending or fetching their children to and from school. They while their day away by going the rounds of the department stores, paying visits to friends to learn how to cook a new dish, or just visiting.
遠道來上台北學校的學生不少，有些親自接送孩子上下學的媽媽，以逛百貨公司、到附近朋友家學做菜、串門子來打發時間。
