I'm so excited to finally share this on my blog.

From the 20th to 24th of February, I went on another family trip to Taiwan!

It was right before the start of my college sophomore year, and I was so ready for the trip

cause I knew that I'll never have time to go abroad after the semester starts.

We'd been waiting for this trip for almost a year.

It was only me and my sister who were supposed to visit Taiwan for vacay,

but it ended up as a big family trip since we all had enough flight mileage to fly for free!

We stayed in Taiwan for 4 nights & 5 days.

I honestly loved everything there, from places to food, it's just an amazing country to be!

Of course, I took the most number of pictures I've ever taken in my entire life

and this is why I had to separate my adventure post into at least three parts.

I hope y'all love my Taiwan adventure and enjoy my little stories in between.

Day 1

Finally the D-day had come.

Despite my pre-travel excitement, I had a great sleep before going to the airport. (Thank you part-time job)

So with refreshed body & brain, we headed to Incheon National Airport, where our adventure officially began.

Into the plane!

As you see, it was super clear & sunny in Korea, so we hoped for Taiwan's weather to be the same.

It was such a pleasant flight.

I sometimes get airsick and never get to sleep properly

that lets me down so much during the trip due to piled up fatigue.

But this time, I didn't have a headache, ate my meal, took a nap & saw magical scenery in the cloud.

Then, we successfully arrived to our airbnb, located in the very city of Taipei, Ximending.

And this was the perfect one for the night view of Taipei.

After another nap till evening, we finally had enough energy to explore the city.

We headed out to our first night in Taiwan, filled with humid air,
smells of endless street food, motorcycles and street lights.

This is Longshan Temple, one of the most well-known temples of the country.

It was really crowded, but I loved seeing the classical Taiwanese architecture & how their people live in it.

This was the most 'glam' temple I've ever been.

Every building had its own superduper detailed sculptures, designs & decorations.

I would've felt that it was too much if this was a Korean traditional temple,
but after realizing that I was in Taiwanese temple, all of these numerous decors made sense.

We burned our incense & made wishes.

Look at these lanterns. I would never be able to see these much decorated lanterns in Korean temples
except at the lantern festival!

They were just casually hanging on the roof, I even saw a sandwich lantern there.

Then we went to the night market near the temple, tired some street food which were sooooooooo goooooood.

That was the time I started to fall in love with this country.

'I love their food = I love this country' is my life equation!

Me @ Taipei, Day 1.

February & March.
