It’s a country you don’t really I guess think about as a
destination for a holiday but you would be cutting yourself short if you did
not put Taiwan on your list of places to visit.
The country is rich in culture, food and shopping. If I was to be perfectly honest with you I did
not expect the city I found when we landed in Taipei ,
it’s a very modern city, the shopping is extremely good, and the price of their
dollar to ours is 30 to 1, a rate many would be extremely happy with. To give you an example my thing is shoes, I
have never actually seen so many or different styles. From flats to thongs to heels to boots they
have a million different styles and most I had never seen before. The issue I had was size, I sit between a 9
and a 9 and a half. Each time I would
walk into a shop and say 41 they basically would say nothing here for you,
disappointing but expected they have small feet. I have been unlucky in life to love shoes but
have feet that are more suited to small fishing boats :/
It is easy to get around in this city, Taxi’s are everywhere
and the price is ridiculously cheap. The
cars are modern, air-conditioned, well maintained and clean. Australian Taxi drivers could learn a lot.
English is broken with many but you never feel like they are
looking down at you they were try to work out what you are asking and learning
to say hello or excuse me and thank you in their language goes a long way.
The weather is hot, which is lovely when you have just come
from winter in Australia ,
its nice to go outside and actually feel a bit of a sweat on you after being
outside for a few hours.
The country all in all was one of my favourite 21 countries
I have visited in my lifetime, and I do hope to go back again.
