My travels
Worldwide
What’s at Sun Moon Lake?
Around a week ago I went to Sun Moon Lake (日月潭) and to the Aboriginal Culture Village (九族文化村) in Nantou county in Taiwan. I went with one of my cousins who is a tour guide, so he introduced my family to the place; even though I've been there twice before....
Trip to Kaohsiung (高雄)
I recently went to this place called Gaoxiong (Pinyin) or Kaohsiung (TW Pinyin; 高雄) and it is the first time I've been there since I've been in Taiwan. Usually, foreigners will travel around and go places; however, little old me has just primarily stayed in...
I’ve been a busy bee!
I don't know where to start! Although the beginning is usually the best place, I feel as if I haven't posted in a while, to which that is true. So I'm just going to post a few pictures that I've downloaded from my Facebook album recently. Other than my grandmother...
WAR MEMORIAL OF KOREA (Pictures)
I took a little break recently and went to visit my girlfriend in South Korea, and with that said I took the opportunity to visit the War Memorial of Korea. I took a few pictures here and there of the tanks and they were mostly pre-1960’s tanks. Though there were a...
My trip to South Korea
I just came back from Incheon International Airport, or South Korea just a couple hours ago. (It takes around 2.5 hours from Korea to Taiwan) I only stayed for 6 days, and those 6 days have been the best time of my life. I haven't had the most exciting life in the...
Trip to Dounan/Douliu
Today, I went to Dounan/斗南 to get my teeth checked at a dentist there. It's quite a distance away from Taichung, as apparently that dentist in Dounan/斗南 is one of the best in middle-Taiwan. Plus, I have a friend who works there and she recommends me to go there and...
A nice stroll around Taichung
Chinese: 今天我和我的狗狗在台中散步! English: Today, I walked around Taichung with my dog! Let's just say I might make it a habit to go around Taichung by myself in the morning just to look around, it's so peaceful and the exercise is good. Plus, it's like exploring, seeing places...
Taichung park and surrounding areas
This morning I decided to go for a walk, as opposed to the running that I usually do. Instead of running inside the park (台中公園), I walked and I went sightseeing around the area where I live nearby. I took a few low quality pictures with my phone's camera. Here are the...

Travelling for me is more than just going to another place in the world. It is about learning new cultures, the history, and generally getting to see how things are done in other countries. There is a certain richness to those who are well travelled.
