Naalala ko yung Taiwan trip namin 2018, hassle talaga matraffic kasi yung sa immigration di mo alam gaano kahaba ang pila pagdating mo sa airport. Bago yata yung may pa coin game wala nyan dati or di namin alam. Tapos yung ATMs talaga dyan mas okay kesa sa money changers less hassle pa and available even sa mga convenient stores. Iyan yung gusto ko sa Taiwan na meron sana sa Pinas pede gamitin yung happy card or beep card hindi lang sa train, bus at convenient stores even sa iba pang establishments. Madaling araw din kami dumating sa Taiwan tapos diretso na sa itinerary travel matic na yata sa ting mga pinoy sulitin ang oras kahit sa plane, airport or bus na ang pahinga. 😂 Kakamiss sana maka out of the country ulit! Sayang naman yung Elephant Mountain ninyo maganda yata sa gabi para di mainit bawas sa stress paakyat 😂

Kasalanan ko rin kung bakit kami na-late ng alis ng bahay.😅Nag-endorse pa kasi ako ng job order and pendings ko. Though dala ko naman laptop ko, inendorse ko na lang para hindi na ko kulitan pa. Ganon talaga ang nature ng work sa tv broadcasting, 24/7 kaya kahit saan man lupalok ka naroroon sa mundo e talagang hahanapin ka if may urgent concern sa work haha.😁 Yes, bago yong pa-lottery ng Taoyuan Airport. Ang teknik daw kung ano ang nakita mong lumabas na coin yon ang pindutin mo agad. Sayang lang na hindi ako nakasali kasi late na ang registration ko. Dapat pala a day before ng arrival mo makapag register ka na. Malaking improvement ang beep card if ma-aadopt nya ang mga neighboring countries natin na hindi lang sya pang-mrt/lrt. Napaka-convenient ng cashless transactions aside sa hindi ka na magbibitbit ng cash e safe pa sa hold-up kasi wala ka nang dinadalang pera sa bag.😄 Kaya sanang tapusin ang Elephant Mountain kaso hindi pa kasi kami nakakapag-checkin ng hotel kaya bitbit ko ang laptop ko. 1/4 pa lang ng trail sobra na pawis ko. Wala din akong dalang extra shirt kasi hindi kami well inform sa capacity ng trail na literal bundok pala ang aakyatin haha. Akala namin walk in the park lang ang peg.😝 Siniksik talaga ang itinerary dahil na rin short stay lang kami sa Taiwan (5 days and 4 nights). Ang mahal din ng bilihin kasi almost x2 ang conversion, though ang sabi wag mo daw icconvert pero hello ito lang ang dala namin pera. Mauubos talaga ang budget mo kapag hindi ka maingat sa pinagbibili mo haha. Hindi ko nagustuhan ang mga "authentic" foods ng Taiwan kasi nalalansahan ako sa lasa. Pero mga kasama ko nasasarapan naman sila, ewan ko baka ako lang ang may problema haha. Yet, may pinuntahan kami sa countryside ng Wulai na masarap ang pagkain 😋. Gala naman tayo out of the country maliban sa mga bundok ng Pinas.😁
