I had to take a 2-hour bus ride to get to Shimendong. And honestly, it was the most worthwhile 2-hour ride I’ve ever taken. The ocean scenery along the way was absolutely stunning. Ever since I returned to Taiwan, it had been raining nonstop for nearly two weeks. But in the past few days, the […]

The idea of going to Kaohsiung came very suddenly. My friend casually asked, “What’s fun in Kaohsiung?” I said I wasn’t sure – and somehow, we decided to go anyway.
