day1 (Osaka-)Tokyo-Taiwan
Hello! I'm back!!!
Its been a while! Since last time, so many things are changed. The biggest thing is I’ve started my full time job. In Japan, once you’ started your job, it’s hard to take time to go to other countries.
However, I didn’t want to give up my adventure. And I made it! This time, I’m coming to Taiwan for 3days!
I have business trip to Nagoya and Osaka for three days just before departing day. And last night has company party in Osaka, yet my flight was 5:50am which I need to get the airport day before the departing day.
So I was running back from Osaka to Tokyo, took shower and grabbed my backpack and headed to the station to get the last train. When I got there, I realized that the time I thought was wrong, and the last train was gone...
So I took taxi to the airport (casted 10 times more than train! But super nice driver:D). And took nap on the uncomfortable hard bench.
At 4:00, I woke up because I couldn’t stand with the bench anymore. Got soup and hamburger for breakfast.
Finally it’s time to go!
I slept whole hole three hours of the flight. First time to come to Taiwan!
This coin is the ticket for train!
もこみち！！
It’s always SUNNY (not rainy) wherever I go! This time I had rainy weather forecast whole my stay, yet no even one drop of rain for the first day! We’ll see how it goes on the rest of my stay...
The coin ticket was really interesting. When you get off, you put it in the gate. It’s eco friendly system than paper ticket systems.
Seven-eleven in Taiwan has lots of photogenic-drinks!
Had some snacks to head to Tainan!
Hight speed train
My Taiwanese friend Yang helped me to get here from airport.
Finally we we met again!
its been half a year since we were in the Philippines! He brought his girlfriend, she is so lovely!
Left: Taiwanese water
Right: Japanese water
We got Tainan city!
So humid and warm!
We rented scooters (I just rode backseat) and ready to go! Last time and first time I rode backstreet of scooter was in Italy. This time, I got used to ride!
He booked the hostel for me( he did everything!cant thank you enough...) which is so pretty and clean!!
We headed to the market area and got some food for late lunch.
This ice cream was so good, but it’s so hot to eat ice cream and it’s melted so fast.
This person was burning something. Yang’s girlfriend told me that this is burning some specific paper for god.
We went to the ait museum. The building was so cool!
Grabbed boba and got to Yang’s house!
i knew boba( babble tea) is very common here, but that was much more than I expected...!!
And it’s cheap and BIG!
Entrance door has letter “spring” upside down. I asked him the reason why. He told me that it makes meaning “spring has come” and spring means Chinese New Year.
His mom and brother were so nice and kind, they did warm welcoming even though they don’t speak English. Thank you!謝謝!
Since boba boba and scooters are so common here, they have eco bag for boba!!!
We had Taiwanese hotpot at very photogenic restaurant!!! It was so great, I love the sauce to dipping!
It was amazing day! And at night, I found out that I had some other friends who were from Tainan! Hope I can meet them during my stay...
Thankful for the wonderful day1!
good night!
