Taipei 2019 - 27 Feb to 4 Jan

Since I started discovering Japan, I've not been back to Taiwan. It's been 5 years and I needed to go back. The street food was calling to me. Also, since the cherry blossoms bloom earlier and it's cheaper to go to Taipei for the cherry blossom season than Japan, it was an easy choice.
