Exploring | Taipei Revisted

There's something I really enjoy about not actually having any plans when travelling and just being spontaneous. Yes, sometimes you need to have an itinerary but for the most part I love just wandering aimlessly around, soaking in whatever comes into fruition.

Going to Taipei with my sister was an absolute blast. I have been to Taipei before but I never quite experienced it this way. For one thing, the weather was much more bearable this time so actually walking around all day did not make me feel like melting. The fact that my younger sister is so passionate about food made eating a much more important part of the trip, something that I greatly appreciated. Every interaction we had struggling to overcome the language barrier was another fun memory that we could laugh about at the end of the day.

In short, I really love Taipei and it was a blast being able to explore it with someone I care about so much.

Taipei

My roommate in Hong Kong, Colleen, and I decided to book a trip to Taiwan on a whim. We had literally known each other for two days. I packed and flew to Singapore for a weekend. I flew back to Hong Kong, unpacked, repacked, and then we flew to Taipei the next morning. Three days of extreme heat, countless trips on the MRT, sharing a bed. I'm glad we booked that trip. The thing I immediately loved about Taipei was how gritty it looked on the bus ride from the airport. It was still clean and safe, but there was still that feeling of being a little run down. I don't know what it is about that kind of city. I guess it just feels honest.
