Taiwan 2019

I was blessed to have been able to visit Taipei, Taiwan for the first time with my best friend, Austin. 2019 was a long year for me, so the opportunity to take over a week off and travel to Taiwan was huge. Here are some of the highlights of the trip.

Food

The food in Taiwan is amazing. From Chinese crullers wrapped in flat bread (燒餅油條) to Braised Pork Rice (滷肉飯), everything is amazing there... not to mention cheap as well!

Even the home-cooked meals are amazing (Beef noodle soup and scallion pancakes)

Night markets

Taiwan is famously known for its night markets. Night markets are incredible places to get cheap and top-quality food. They're bustling with activity and the variety of dishes you can get there is incredible.

Taipei Metro

Taipei's Metro system is one of the best mass transit systems in the world. Consisting of over 5 lines and 117 stations, the metro system makes getting around Taipei incredibly convenient.

Scenery

Taiwan is just incredibly scenic. Enough said.
