Just got off the plane, looking around, this place is quite beautiful. We took a bus for about 40 minutes to get to the hotel, we spent $125 Taiwan dollars ($4 dollars in U.S. money. Arriving at the hotel. It’s called Taipei Morning Hotel. Its supposedly 2 ½ stars, hope it lives up to its reputation. I decided to go to the Bali Bike Trail to get some exercise. While going there I got hungry so I stopped at Smoothie (Yongkan Main Shop.) After I went back to the hotel to get some sleep

 I woke up and ate at the hotel, then went to the Taipei zoo. I saw wonderful pandas and tigers and made friends with a family. They had two kids, one was 6 and the other was 12.  Later that day I went to Taipei 101. It’s one of the top rated places in Taipei and the tallest building there too. We are going to go on a night tour with a Mongolian BBQ Dinner! After having that long day, I went back to the hotel.

Today I checked out of our hotel in Taipei. I rode the bus to the city Taichung. I checked into the Talmud Hotel- Yuan De for a great price! At 11:00 I went to a restaurant called ShangHai, it’s a 4 ½ star restaurant! I wanted to do something later on, so I went to a amusement park. After that, I went to an amusement park called Lihapo Land! I was rated the best in Taichung.

In the morning I went to the early bird diner. I ate pancakes, eggs, and 2 pieces of bacon. To get some fresh air, I went to the Art garden. I saw amazing paintings that were very creative. Later on, to go have some fun, I went bowling only one game for $30, I had 5 strikes!! After that I went home and got some rest and packed up for my next city.

I live in Taipei, I use to live in America but then I moved here. Almost every Saturday, I go to Taichung Pizza Rock because I love pizza. I also go shopping downtown because they have amazing deals that I can never find anywhere! He use to work at the National Taipei University as a professor but he is now retired.

Today, I checked out of my hotel and went onto my last destination which is Hualien! Luckily, Lee let me stay at his huge house for free the next couple of days while he is on vacation! After getting settled, I went to the Farglory Ocean Park! I saw whales and otters and even dolphins. Later that day, I went to the Sea Wind Restaurant for only $6. After the huge meal for dinner, I went back to the house.

 This morning, I went to the Taroko Gorge tour that was so exciting because we got to walk into the gorge! It was rated the second best place in Hualien.  The tour took up the entire morning so I got something to eat at Dos Tacos. It was also great to see people that worked there speak English.  Later on, I went to the Chishingtan Beach to have some fun and also to cool off a little.

Today was my last day in Taiwan so I wanted to do something big, so I decided to go to the #1 thing there, the Taroko National Park Tour! After another long tour, I went to a sit down restaurant called Lan’s Table and Guesthouse. After I finished my meal I headed over to the Airport to catch my flight! Best trip ever!
