Ugh, Travel Sooner! Taiwan's Been a Forbidden Fruit for Nearly 7 Years Now.

I still remember this: the front desk guy at the youth hostel I stayed at was handsome. One morning, as I was heading out, he was incredibly enthusiastic and told me my hat looked great. I was secretly thrilled for the rest of the day.

[Maryann Daniel IV]

I haven't stayed in a youth hostel in Taiwan, but I did stay in a huge motel, haha.

I remember Jiufen, known as Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. At first, I thought it was just hype, but when night fell, it truly was Castle in the Sky!

Went in 2013. I visited Taipei First Girls' High School where Selina studied and Shida Night Market. Also went to Witch House where Wu Tsing-fong performed, and Jay Chou's Tamkang High School and Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf.

Oh, right! And I also went to Nuannuan Station from Fish Leong's song 'Nuan Nuan,' Jiufen from Tony Leung's 'A City of Sadness,' the railway (Ruifang?) where Shen Chia-yi released sky lanterns in 'You Are the Apple of My Eye,' and Kenting, which has appeared in many idol dramas. It's hard to believe I managed to visit so many places with special memories on just a spontaneous one-week trip.

Seeing you say it's been suspended for seven years... I opened my photo album, checked, and you're right... I also went in 2017... I still really miss that Pacific breeze in Kenting!

[Bonnie Beatty]

I went in 2017 too, visited Taipei.

[Kathryn Heller]

Welcome to Taiwan!

[Steve Beatty]

I'd love to visit again so much.

[Pamela Miller]

The guesthouse (B&B) I stayed at actually collapsed in an earthquake.

[Arnold Predovic]

That's so dramatic!

I got my permit for Taiwan back in 2017 and still haven't used it. I initially wanted to go right after I got it, but then I thought the entry permit was too expensive, so I didn't end up going.

[Guadalupe Barton]

The entry permit wasn't that expensive, was it? Though I've forgotten how much it cost, haha.

[Lewis Larkin]

Last year.

[Eunice Rutherford]

Kaohsiung?

[Dr. Mandy Walter-Reichert]

Glad I've been. It wasn't that amazing, to be honest. Foreign islands are more fun.

[Miss Angela Cormier]

Maybe it's because you don't listen to Taiwanese singers or watch Taiwanese variety shows, movies, and TV dramas, right?
