This is my first time blogging and I'm writing about my trip to Taiwan. Um...Taipei to be exact. I'm blogging because this is my first time planning a trip and also hope that this blog could help you.
My mum just made a random decision to go to Taiwan, two days before take off. That gave me less than 48hours to plan an 8 day tour. Thus many last minute decision were made along the way. 2days, crazy!! All in all it was a fantastic trip, most parts went smoothly and we managed to make it back home safely.
Having said that, Taiwan is a very convenient place to travel. Most tourist spots are just a few blocks away from the metro station.
People there are very friendly and polite. Public transport there are very efficient as well. There is no need for a map. All you need is to speak Chinese and a good pair of walking shoes (a lot of walking!!).
The only two down sides that I find in Taiwan is the huge tourist crowd at some places and the food (maybe it's just me *shrugged* too much pork, beef, takeaways, fast food, fried food). Apart from this two factors, it's a big THUMBS UP for Taiwan!! :D
Here's the itinerary of our trip. Not the best schedule, but given two days to prep, I'm proud of myself. I'll post a summary of our awesome trip.
