I had just finished an 8-day adventure round Taiwan and I couldn't be more happy!!

This was my first time in Taiwan and despite my woeful mandarin (as a Hong Kong-Australian) everyone has been so friendly and kind. I'm talking everyone from our driver to store clerks to random passersbys.

I am absolutely amazed by the food, culture and people.

My trip in a nutshell:

Taoyuan > Hsinchu > Taichung > Chiayi > Tainan > Kaohshiung > Kenting > Taitung > Chishang > Hualien > Yilan > Jiufen > Taipei

I pet lots of cats and dogs, ate braised pork rice everyday, and even got hit by an earthquake.

Overall 10/10 experience.
