This is a blog to record my adventures in Taiwan to those back home who may be interested. I am visiting family and striving to become fluent in Mandarin during my stay in Taipei with the hope of further study after this first goal is met. Any experiences or events that may happen along the way will be a nice bonus.The comments and notes posted on this blog are my personal opinions and may not always be accurate. A lot of my information is from poor translation or gathered second hand from others. If something I have posted is incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.Also, my pictures are works in process as I am still very much an amateur so any critical feedback is appreciated. Having outside prospective is important to me.
