MUST VISIT SHOPS IN TAIWAN

MUST EATS IN TAIWAN

HOW IS COMMUTE IN TAIWAN?

Ever wondered how people commute in other country; how they go to work or to school? Well, as to no surprise, there’s no flying cars, or teleportation devices invented yet, so there’s not much of a difference as to mode of transportation in other part of the world, but how they manage traffic differs.

BIKE RIDE IN XIN ZHUANG, TAIPEI CITY

One of the many things I look forward to visiting Taiwan are bike rides around the city. The fact that commute is not as accessible as it is in the Philippines, riding bikes eliminate walking a distance from one place to the another. Well to cut the story short, NO WALKING!!! Hahaha
