Fresh from Taiwan: My Unfiltered Thoughts!
-
I'd love to go to Taiwan for some bubble tea.
-
Taiwanese milk tea generally tastes lighter than what you find in mainland China.
-
My travel buddy recently went to Taipei and the snacks they brought back were amazing! All my friends who've been to Taiwan also rave about it.
-
What kind of snacks? I want to buy some!
-
You know to order beef noodles with half tendon and half meat! Pro move!
-
Haha, a Taiwanese colleague told me that.
-
Taiwanese don't necessarily drink milk tea every day, but coffee lovers often need their daily cup.
-
I really loved Sun Moon Lake. The only downside was that many shops closed too early.
-
Great, you're welcome to visit again! Wishing you good health and all the best!
-
Actually, most Taiwanese who frequent drink shops usually opt for pure teas, often unsweetened or with just a little sugar. Milk tea is more of an occasional treat.
-
Exactly! I'm a big fan of black tea.
-
Does Taiwanese milk tea keep you up at night?
-
I don't think I had that issue! I had one or two cups every day for the two weeks I was there, though I might have just been going to bed late. It seems like black tea-based ones are much better in that regard.
-
For the High-Speed Rail, non-reserved seat tickets are only valid for designated non-reserved cars, not just any car. The number of non-reserved cars can vary by train schedule.
-
Oh right, I remember now! There are specific cars you have to be in.
-
I really want to go to Taiwan!
