Taiwan 2017: Trip to Shifen, Jiufen, Raohe Night market and Wufenpu Shopping

My flight was on a saturday night of July 1, 2017 and I arrived at Taoyuan airport at around past 12mn the following day. I was in a hurry getting out of the immigration as I have to rush to the wifi egg provider which closes at 1am. This costs me around P752.00 good for 4 days. To get here, once you reach the immigration's exit, turn right then just go straight. You will see 2 wifi providers at the end and in front of elevators going to bus terminal. There is no way you'll not be able to find this on your way to airport especially if your taking the bus. However, upon return of the egg, you need to ask the information counter how to reach here as you'll be arriving at the other side of the airport. Unite traveler wifi provider Anyway, after getting the wifi egg, ride the escalator going to the ticket booth to buy bus tickets. Take Kuokuang bus number 1819 for only $125 NTD. Also, if you have easy card(Taiwan's MRT card), you can also use it for transportation and ...

How Keto/Low Carb Diet worked for me

Im back readers! Been busy with work and I finally have time now. haha.. So, after our Siargao trip last year (Nov 27, 2018), I decided to go on strict diet for three (3) major reasons. 1.)

Hospitals became my second home for the past year due to my Gastro reflux, migraine and vertigo(plus my regular monitoring of my cholesterol). Blood tests became a weekly norm for me. hahaha..  3.) Upon seeing my beach photos, I hated myself for being so fat. My body structure has always been mejo "voluptuous" (ahem).. okay cge, curvy pero not fat. So it's quite depressing to see that my clothes do not fit me anymore. Hindi na q pwede sa free size laging L-XL levels na. But dont get me wrong.  I dont mean to body shame. It's just that mejo disappointed aq sa body q that time mostly because madami...

Taiwan Itinerary with Actual Expenses

Although I have written separate blog posts of my recent Taiwan trip, I still want to share my itinerary with budgeted and actual expenses. When I was researching for the perfect sites, I have read a number of blogs which became really helpful for me and I consider this as my contribution to all future travelers out there.. This time, I will share with you some tips and tricks on how to save money and avoid the hassle while you are on a vacation in Taiwan.  Tip No. 1: Take note of the schedules of your desired locations. Check if those sites are open on a Monday! There were a lot of changes in the itinerary during our stay especially when we traveled on a Monday as we were not aware that most of the Parks all over Taiwan are closed during this day. Also, we tried to cancel other locations located in Taipei as we were tired already and we just want to chill on our last day.  Tip No. 2: Book ahead tour packages online to avoid conversion losses and accumulate sav...
