My last trip out of the states for a long long time was this past few weeks...I went back to Taiwan to visit family and friends. It was a really GREAT trip, but the flight out there was SUPER long (almost 24 hours including layover times). My family and I visited quite a few cities during the 3 weeks, some of which include: taoyuan, hualien, jielong, hehuan san, taipei(of course), dansui, yilan, sanchong, tainan, and taizhong. If you ever have a chance to go to asia, taiwan is a definite MUST. There is so much happening there, and the food is AMAZING and SUPER cheap compared to europe!!! :) Here are some pictures.
