Travel tip #1 - If you're a girl like me (= weakling), travel with a guy! They carry your suitcases!
So I spontaneously bought tickets to Taiwan. Arrived the next day, wondering what the heck to do....cos my only contact hadn't received the message that I was arriving on that day...but thank God, she read her messages just before I got there and got me.
Met this random Korean dude who is teaching English in Kaohsiung (= south of Taiwan - where the recent typhoon hit really badly) and the next day, we decided to head up north Taiwan to the capital = Taipei.
In Taipei :-
- Went to the highest building in the world - the 101
- Consumed boiled snake soup *hiss*
- Slept in the dodgiest hostel in this dorm - the Korean guy and 3 Japanese guys and 1 random guy - YES, 5 guys to 1 girl!!!
- Relaxed and chilled at Hot Spring - yes, I know...3rd day of knowing a guy and I have to wear swimwear??? If I had known, I would have worked out more!!
Back down to Kaohsiung today. Chilling in his bachelor pad in his room while he goes to work. Waiting for my friend, the girl, to come get me...
In Kaohsiung, people ride around in scooters. SCARY AS!!!
My girl friend joked that she had taken away my scooter virginity and that I should put that on my facebook update! You crack me up girl!
2 more days here...maybe I will come back...
