KaDeWo - The Joy Advocate

Bus # 1962 from Banqiao District to the TPE Airport Saw many people with flip flops on despite steady rain While I was trekking through  Taipei, Taiwan  I thought this has got to be one of the easiest countries/cities for a native English speaker to travel around. If you are planning to visit or move there, do it! I used the MRT and local buses to travel throughout the Northern part of Taiwan. I decided to stay in the Banqaio District - which turned out to be the best place for me. It was 5 minutes for the MRT Station. From researching before travel, I decided to get a two-day pass, which gave me access to buses and the subway line most of my trip.   November 2019 Update: I still live in the states and have never completed this entry, but wanted to share these pictures from my vacation. It was a great experience that I will always treasure. I saw some magnificent art and ate delicious street food. 

So I don't usually do reviews, but this experience warrants a praise...so le'go!  I booked a trip to Taipei, Taiwan in December 2016 for February 2017. Around the same time I started looking into airport transportation options for late arrivals, conducting random Google searches.

My flight to the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was scheduled to land at 12:35am UTC on a Friday morning. Based on the scheduled pick

So this happened... After 5 weeks of a scheduled 3 week vacation to the US, I am finally back in South Korea!! *I decided to travel to America to surprise my family in January, following the end of English Winter Camp. My EPIK contract states employees will earn 10 days of paid vacation for winter break. The school year ended December 30th and will commence on March 2nd; therefore, I have a lot of dates to choose from to take the 10 days. 1st Note: English was taught in Winter Camp January 2 - 13, 2016. Also, the students returned for a week (February 9 - 16) to prepare for graduation on February 17. Due to the cost of traveling to the States I requested a third week of vacation, without pay. My administrators approved my request and I booked my trip. I had a chance to surprise much of my family. We had some wonderful moments together; we were all glad to visit with one another again. Towards the middle of my third week I started to feel a cold and by the morning of the day before
