The Taiwan High Speed Railway
... . Melinda and I were too tired to even feel guilty. David has hired a car to transport us from the airport (located in Taoyuan about an hour outside of Taipei). It's dusk outside and there's not much to see, unfortunately. The temperature was a balmy ...

Layovers are really boring...
So I arrived at Taiwan international airport at about 4am with nothing to do but wait. I of course did not have any Taiwan $$ so I just window shopped throughout the parts of the airport that I was allowed to walk around. At this point ...

Diving Green Island

Hello Taiwan!
After a long flight from DC to LA to Taoyuan, Taiwan, I arrived Sunday night safe and sound but a bit weary. Given the late hour, I stayed near the airport at a simple Holiday Inn Express. It was nothing fancy but nicer than most Holiday Inn's in the U.S. ...
Update

It's a jelly thang
Taiwan is the jelly King. They like to put jelly in just about everything. This is quite surprising the first time if you're not prepared. My first jelly yogurt experience was interesting. I spooned in a gigantic mouthful of strawberry yogurt...chewed ...
Closing the Taiwan chapter

story 001 ▶▶▶ one way ticket
