Travel Blogs from Taiwan
Farewell Kaohsiung!
... 500people/km2 in Kaohsiung. Despite all that, I am infinitely grateful for all the time I had here and all the people I met. Taiwan may not be the best fit for me, but it certainly is a wonderful country full to the brim of wonderful people. ...
Time for the Traditional Market - BAM!
... head back to uncle’s house. On the way to the metro – I order a stamp of my name – everything official in Taiwan is signed with your name and a stamp. So – I order one. If I ever decide to buy real estate – ...
Dead skin cell eating fish??
... This mysterious mountain village is around 2 hours by bus out of the city. Like almost every event in our new life in Taiwan this experience would be decided in the eleventh-hour, the night before our big trek. I did have first hand knowledge ...
First stop on the way back
After a flight of 9:15 hours the first stop is in Taipei. Here I have to wait about 2 hours before a different plane will bring me back to Bangkok and Amsterdam. ...
Nihon ni Kairimas
This day consitsted of jumping on the bus and heading back to the airport. A quick bout of duty free shopping and back on Cathay Pacific to Tokyo. Although, I must say that they were better on the way back but definately not the best airline I've flown ...
Day Trip to Puli
... green valleys below us almost the entire way. Very nice. Puli Township is an interesting place. It's not large by Taiwan standards but very spread out. There are lush green mountains in every direction, and the air is substantially fresher than ...
Epilogue: Addicted To That Rush
I've always felt this blog was incomplete without an epilogue. While pondering over the events of 2007 and sorting through my files I came across this last entry in my personal travel journal I kept during the trip. As I read it the feelings I ...
Taipei Zoo
... in. They had a whole section devoted to Formosan animals. Formosa is the name the Portuguese, the first European settlers, gave Taiwan. It means beautiful island and was almost exclusively called that by the Western world for many many years. The first ...
crazy dreams
... papers to hand in and tests to write. Also i have no idea how to pay for this trip...meanwhile, i'm hanging out with the expats of taiwan, but in my dream they are, i don't even know who, and we are doing all sorts of activities, one of which is we have ...
Arrival
We arrived around 5:30pm. We were greeted by several staff members of the program. I expected us to be nuzzled somewhere inside the city of Kaohsiung, but rather we are in a huge compund outside the city (40 min). A staff member ...
Taipei, Taiwan
Meet up with Michelle, a friend that works for the South Zone BLM in Anchorage. Couple of hours to kill before boarding for Bangkok and their new International Airport. Michelle will either try to jump on the same flight or I'll meet her in Bangkok an ...
First night in Taipei
So we're here. After 24 hours of travel, we have arrived to taipei. we were picked up from the airport by a very nice taiwanese man who didn't speak any english. andrew's nose has been pouring consistently, he's got flight allergy. the apt we're in right ...
Sugar Factory and Night Markets
... There were at least 12 types of tofu for tasting – she tried them all and other stuff. This is perfectly acceptable in Taiwan. Try everything and don’t even buy anything. I like the idea, but cannot bring myself to do it yet. ...
Fun and wacky stuff at the Trainee Conference 2010

Greetings from Taipei
Hey kids! It's me, Red the bear writing from Taipei, Taiwan. This used to be the tallest building in the world, but there is now a taller building in Dubai, UAE. Maybe I will get to see that building too! I'm having a lot of fun on my trip. I'm ...
Georgeous Gorge
I suppose I could really drag this out by describing in detail each place I visited, but I'll just let the photos do what they do and say that I had a great time. I woke up and hopped on my scooter heading for Taroko national park. I lucked ...
Good Morning Taitung!

Chinese Opera and Taiwanese Aboriginal Dances
So we went out the the Chinese Opera last week. They have one that plays every Friday and Thursday and a venue called the Cement Hall, which is...you guessed it! made of cement. It was however surprisingly un-bunker-like. We got our tickets a little ...
Suao
Train Ride to Suao I didn't know when I brought my first train ticket in Taiwan that I needed to specify which type of tickets I want. Apparently, there are two types of tickets, standing only or seated. I didn't know the difference at the time and ...
How tall is Taipei 101?
Our first full day in Taipei and our first lazy morning. Since we didn't have any guide books for Taiwan, we based our research on the brochures we picked up from the airport. Our plan for the day consisted of going to Taipei 101, the tallest building ...
At last something interesting!
Finally something to write about. After a lengthy trip to Narita from Yokohama we boarded our Cathay Pacific flight to Taipei. We met our friend Dan at Narita Aiport and began our holiday. Small note on Cathay Pacific, They're not bad but definitely ...
Living in Taiwan
We are adjusting well to our new living conditions. I have figured out my washing machine. Keep in mind dryers are 110V so they aren't very efficient. They are hard to come by. I hang dry all of our clothes. Kind of a drag. It rains ...
Northern Taiwan
We had big plans to drive up the coast then over to the Yangmingshan National Park. We were going to hike up the Yangmingshan. This was postponned due to rain. We did however drive up to the coast and stopped whenever it felt ...
Taipei, Taiwan
Ni hao from Taiwan. I landed, right on schedule, 9:30 pm May 31. Hot and steamy here, too. My sisters Min-Wei (7) and Jin-Hong (4) picked me (6) up from the Chiang Kai Shek Intl Airport. Didn't sleep too much last night because of jet lag and the mosquito ...
First night in Tainan
Melinda and I checked into our hotel about 9:30 pm. Our hotel is small, but modern in many ways. It has an elevator, though it doesn't fit more than 2 people if you have luggage. And, in order to access it from the lobby you must walk up about 9 ...
Wartime Emergency
Tania and I began our day with a glimpse into an event that would not happen for another 120 years, a solar eclipse that in some areas lasts up to 6 minutes. We arranged ourselves near the National Museum of Natural Science for the festivities early ...
Lion's Head Mountain
This time we headed south to get away from the city. It sure paid off! In the Tri-Mountain National Scenic Area we chose Lion's Head Mountain. The travel book we have pointed out the hiking trails. There are Buddhist Temples all ...
FGS shuttle and arrival
I spent the morning anxiously wandering the blocks surrounding the hostel, hoping to waste time and/or find bubble tea. Eventually, I decided on an appropriate time to check out and did so, with no sign of my roommate. I asked the ...
