Vacation Hangover

More champagne problems coming at you, live from South Korea!

I really do see and appreciate how lucky I am, so please know that I realize the whining I do is so lame, but it's my blog and I do what I want. Please and thank you!

So yeah, I went to Taiwan! It was AWESOME. If you ever get the chance to go, do it! I was actually really pleasantly surprised. My friend and I honestly just kind of randomly chose to go there because it was one of the cheaper places to fly into, and we had never been. And, because I'm so lazy, I did pretty much no research before (or after, really) before we headed out. But it was seriously a great choice. Here's why, in a nice handy list:

1. REALLY nice people.
2. SUPER good food.
3. BEAUTIFUL beaches

Ok, and like a million other things too, but you get the idea. I have all these dreams of grandeur that this blog will be a super helpful travel blog, but that would take A LOT more effort that I am willing to put into it. Luckily, there are lots of other people out there that are much nicer and harder working than I, so that is basically how we found things to do and figured out how to get around. So, lots of thanks to those bloggers out there that have been to Taiwan and documented it! I have just resigned myself to the fact that I don't have the time to be all that helpful. But, if you ever have questions, I'd be happy to answer them! I would like to be more helpful, I just don't have the time (read: that is not how I want to spend my time without getting paid).

Honestly though, we probably would have been fine to just show up and wing it. I'm not really a "winging it" on vacation type of person, but it definitely seems do-able in Taiwan. I wouldn't recommend it for Korea, but Taiwan was much easier to get around in. I'll expand on that.

First off, transportation in Taiwan is amazing! We didn't attempt any local buses, so I don't know about those, but we managed to get ourselves down south to the beach town (Kenting) without any problems. And basically everyone we encountered spoke really good English AND was super helpful and friendly. We even had some random people ask if we needed help! This rarely happens in Korea. Korean people are very nice, don't get me wrong, but they are generally not that friendly, at least in my experience. Outside of Seoul, it's not that easy to navigate in Korea and Koreans are not really that interested in helping you out. I think it's because Korea doesn't get as many tourists as other Asian countries, so they don't really know how to treat them. Or maybe they do, but they just don't give a shit. Point is, Taiwan is nice to it's guests and I appreciated it.

So, yes now I have been back for like 3 weeks and it's taken me forever to post this. Pretty sure no one reads it so no matter. If you ever go to Taiwan and would like my input, feel free to contact me. K, thanks!

Dream big people!
