To Taiwan

Tonight, I will be leaving on a plane for Taiwan. I will be in Taiwan for two weeks for a family vacation. It will be fun as we will travel to both sides of Taiwan in the two weeks. We have a lot of things to accomplish there and will take care of that. We will visit some family and also might help out with the typhoon damaged. A really bad Typhoon hit Taiwan on August 8th that killed over 500 people. Some villages are completely destroyed and a lot of blame is being put on the government.

Anyways, this will be my first time going back to Taiwan since 6 years ago. That time, I was really little and didn't really take a lot of pictures. I probably did but that was the pre digital camera era. When I go back tonight, I will be sure to take a lot of pictures.

We will see many attractions. Will definitely see the Taipei 101 Tower. Last time, it was still being built when I went there. Taiwan has a lot of night markets in its major city and we will go shopping and eat food there. Also, the subway system is improved and convient. It will be fun riding on the subway, just like New York. In southern Taiwan, we might go to this vacation hotspot right next to the sea. Heard that place is pretty cool.

Jet lag shouldn't be a big issue. Our plane leaves LAX around 1 AM Sunday morning and we will arrive at Taiwan Monday morning local time 13 hours later. So it will be like a redeye flight. If I don't sleep on Monday during the day, I should have no problems.

This trip to Taiwan will be really fun and a great end of the summer trip to see my family back in the country I was born. I will have fun in Taiwan.
