We chose to leave souvenir shopping to today so we’d have the best ideas on what to bring home for people. One of Taiwan’s specialties is pineapple cakes. You can find them everywhere but they all range on quality and price.

Because it was a Thursday, I didn’t bother getting our tickets back to Taipei right away. We packed up our stuff and walked in the sorta rainy weather to the train station at 10 hoping there were seats available within the next hour or so.

I have to say that yesterday was absolutely amazing and will be in my memories as one of the best trip moments ever. My legs, hips, and back don’t really work anymore but holy crap I had so much fun.

I’ve heard really great things about a national park here in Taiwan called Taroko Gorge. It’s supposed to be huge and one of the top things you visit if you’re in the country.

Today was very much like many of the previous days that we spent in Tokyo or Bangkok this year. We attempted to take it easy by following the original plan of eating and shopping.
