Taiwan



Taiwan was very much a holiday for us – a break from the constant travel. We spent a lot of time in Taipei with family, and it gave us time to rejuvenate.

As of this writing we’ve done one small cycling excursion down the west side, and are planning to tackle the east in the coming weeks.

Welcome!

You've found a blog about two people who, for 1.3 million minutes, travelled around Asia learning about its peculiarities. The process was a slow one, and this website is by no means comprehensive. We tried to report the good times, bad times, weird times, and interesting times evenly.
