04 Oct Three Weeks in Taiwan Video
Our initial 15 month trip ended with three weeks in Taiwan; a tiny island in the east of Asia not to be confused with Thailand and certainly not part of China! We really liked the cleanliness, orderliness of the Taiwanese, especially in the capital city Taipei where we stayed with a fantastic Couchsurfing host Jackie. Take a look at our Taiwan video for the highlights of our trip.
We spent a lot of time hiking the hills, soaking in the thermal waters and exploring the cities and national scenic areas. We ambled around the temples, discovered Sun Moon Lake, tried to find the cloud sea at Alishan, hiked around Taroko Gorge and wandered the night markets and mountains around Taipei.

Posted at 11:26h, 05 OctoberWe host students from all over the world and most recently we have had student from Taiwan stay with us. From what she has told us about her country and seeing this film, Taiwan is most definitely on the list for future travels. All we need to do is get on with the decluttering and sell the house.

Posted at 03:40h, 06 OctoberThanks Miriam, although it’s a small country it still seems to have everything! There are numerous beaches too but we didn’t get to see them. 🙂

Posted at 14:25h, 06 OctoberLooks like a great trip! I love island countries (Sri Lanka, Maldives, the UK, and so on) and have always wanted to go to Taiwan, especially for the curious food. Will be coming back here a lot as I plan my trip.
