Recently I took a short trip to Taiwan! It’s just a small jump between Japan and Taiwan. I spent a total of 5 days and it was worth the trip! Although, unfortunately it rained the entire time.

My favorite part of the trip was the night markets. They had so much delicious, cheap food. I know I definitely gained a few pounds!

The sights were great too! The old buildings were gorgeous. I loved the National Place Museum! Taipei 101 is quite a sight as well!

It was nice going to another foreign country. I have been in Japan so long that it doesn’t feel that foreign anymore. I missed the feeling of not knowing what exactly to expect!
