Staying at Island Escape by Burasari

I did promise myself that I would still blog every few months. I guess that work and life just get in the way of that and it’s so easy to find other hobbies instead. However, I’m currently on sabbatical and inspiration just hit! So, may as well do some blogging. If you like to travel in Asia, feel free to check out my other blog posts.

I can’t believe how fast the time has been flying while on this trip. After leaving the Maluku region, we flew to Jakarta and then Kuala Lumpur for a few days each.

We only managed to visit Taipei and Kenting since our trip was quite short.

Taiwan has always been a country that I have been interested in visiting. However, it never sparked me enough to be on my immediate “must visit” list. Since our friends were travelling for only 1 week, it was logical for us to fly to them. It provided a great opportunity to see a new country, and this country actually ended up being the 30th country that I have visited!

Of course, while visiting my 30th country, I also had to visit the 10th tallest building in the world, Taipei 101
