Cameron Valley Tea House

Even though we were in the Cameron Highlands for only two nights and three-ish days (one full) we still managed [...]
Cafe Wednesday 카페수요일
While Aaron was visiting I really wanted to make sure he got to try traditional Korean tea, so after wandering around Insadong for a bit we decided on the Wednesday cafe. He ordered the 냉오미차자 omija iced tea (7,500 won) while I ordered the 수정과 cinnamon iced tea (7,500). We also ordered some tea snacks to split. [...]

Food in Taichung, street food and traditional
As I mentioned in my last post the majority of the food we ate while in Taiwan was street food, or at local restaurants with almost no English. This was something we wouldn't have been able to do easily without our friends who took the time to order everything we ate for us, suggesting their [...]
Jiufen 九份
One thing we had agreed on as a must before leaving for Taiwan was Jiufen. However it wasn't anywhere near where our friends lived and with our flight leaving early the following morning we decided to cut our visit of Taichung early, hop on a bus, book a hostel in Taipei and spend our last day [...]
