After a wonderful night of sleep we left the hotel for some breakfast (our hotel didn't serve breakfast). Taipei has a lot of 'take-a-way' coffee points and bakery's on the street. We figured that it was a part of the culture in this city: 'hurry and time is money'. So we decided to do the same as …

NOTE: I am attempting with this blog to preserve memories for myself as well as hopefully give helpful insight to people who themselves may consider going to Indonesia in the future, so bare with my blah blah blah and all the rambling of info :) I hope this is of help to some people!

This is the best, the cleanest, the cutest and the 'astig'-est* metro from all asian metros i've been to, and one of the best in the world. It's no bullshitting here! And... it saved my ass, litterary. I just regret we didnt ride the brown line, which isnt the steal-onsteal train line, but rybber-t…

It doesn’t have the romance of Eiffel Tower, nor the majesty of the Great Wall.   It lacks the mystery of the Sphinx and it doesn’t have the adventure offered by Everest.   But Taipei is something else. Proud, fierce, independent, beaming with ingenuity with its techno advances a…

As mentioned earlier, there are no American department stores here. The food was excellent, I must say, so I highly reco…

It's my second time for me to visit Taiwan. A country with plenty of tasty food! Always gained some pounds back to Hong Kong! :P

It was 38 degrees when we stepped off the plane for five days of exploring a little bit of Taiwan. Scorching compared to Korea. Upon arriving downtown the first thing I was struck by were the amount of motorbikes on the road. They were every where; dozens at each red light, lined up along the s…

Taiwan,a food haven and pretty girls adorning the streets

   After a final beer at O'Hearns Pub in Redondo Beach, I drove to the Budget rental car return near LAX. I boarded their shuttle to the airport and when I told the driver "China Airlines" a middle-aged business man gasped. "Wow, where are you going," he asked. I told him to Southeast A…
