Trekking Elephant Mountain – thejjchronicles
https://thejjchronicles.wordpress.com/2015/09/18/trekking-elephant-mountain
Getting lost is a necessary artform. September 18, 2015. September 18, 2015. How to get there: from Xiangshan MRT station, the way to the hike is very clearly labeled. Basically walk straight down the street parallel to the park, and head up the hill to the left. Signs all the way! The trailhead is located right beside a large temple up the sloped road, and is marked clearly along with a map of the different trails that branch out:. Looking down from about 1/3 the way up. Greenery and paved paths. Overal...

Getting lost is a necessary artform. First post: Welcome to the motherland. August 25, 2015. August 25, 2015. LAX Taoyuan International Airport is a grueling 13 hours, nonstop. On a long flight like this, exit row and bulkhead seats with extra leg room are basically the best spots in the cabin, as they have the most leg room, offer quicker exit at the end of the flight, and are often closest to the bathrooms everyone wants these seats! Breakfast: congee with ground pork and veggies, bread roll, green bea...

Getting lost is a necessary artform. Taipei Nights: Pub 45 and Hideout. September 15, 2015. September 15, 2015. I’ve been living with my Taiwanese relatives…which means there is very little leeway for the ratchet lifestyle here. My grams ain’t too keen on me staying out any later than about 10 pm, which is typically the. Of the night for a young adult of legal age. So yeah, life’s been hard. Address: Taipei City, Da’an District, Section 1, Heping E Rd, 45號2樓. 45 Pub bar area. Shady The whole room was pai...

Keelung – thejjchronicles
https://thejjchronicles.wordpress.com/2015/10/19/keelung
Getting lost is a necessary artform. October 19, 2015. October 20, 2015. Taipei is great on its own, but I’ve been in Taiwan for nearly 2 months now, and I feel like I haven’t even explored to the full extent what Taiwan has to offerwhich is why we decided to plan a day trip out to Keelung, a seaside district just 30 minutes out from Taipei. It was really the perfect day for a little excursion bright and sunny, hot, no rain in sight. Keelung Harbor on a sunny, blue-bird day is absolutely stunning. The re...

Getting lost is a necessary artform. Mooi Trouve: Part 1 on being Hipster in Taipei. October 3, 2015. October 3, 2015. Some of the more interesting optional large classes have finally started this week! Mooi Trouve is tucked unassumingly into a quiet, residential neighborhood; I would not have noticed the cafe if I didn’t know what to look for. Luckily I had spent some time looking up pictures through various blogs the night before, so I recognized its quaint tile roofing, and ventured inside. Although I...
