Yaaasssss. At last, I found the time to edit my Taiwan travelogue, featuring the night markets I visited and cheap shopping spots I found. Have you heard of Shilin, Shida, Raohe and all the night markets in Taiwan but don't know which one to go to? Wufenpu, Ximending, ATT4FUN, Breeze Center, Taipei 101 Mall — too many shopping spots to choose from, where can you grab the cheapest deals? Check out how to get there, the nearest MRT and what I think about those places in my video.
So that's all the shenanigans I was up to when I was travelling solo in Taipei. I still have part two coming up, where I hung out with my Taiwanese colleagues and lived a somewhat local life, so hit the subscribe button if you'd like to see more ;-)
After spending weeks in Taiwan and being exposed to different Chinese words that I never knew existed, I came to realise my favourite Chinese phrase is still 暧昧. There's no exact way to precisely translate these words into English while retaining its proper, original meaning, and I think that's the beauty of Chinese, or even languages in general — some words just can't be translated.
I have to mention it's amusing to see how everything falls so beautifully in place sometimes. I've always been somewhat of a wild soul captivated by my love for the unknown, and living alone for the first time during my recent Taiwan travel only magnified that. My burning desire for travelling amplified, I became more independent, learnt to let go of things that don't belong to me, adapted a slower pace of life, and most importantly, I rapidly discovered new things about myself.
