Hello! This is my third trip to Taiwan in 5 months. This is my first solo trip overseas. Lately, I've had to learn new systems at work, and my brain is at its limit. During this 3-night, 4-day solo trip to Taiwan, I'll try to forget about work≡⊂(^-^)⊃The theme of this trip is to relax and eat delicious food in Taipei. Anyway, I'm going to relax in Taiwan. Immediately, we headed to the Lucky Land lottery venue again this time. I lost last time, so I hope I win this time. I regained my composure and looked for a KKday taxi driver. I looked for a welcome board with my name on it, but I couldn't find it, but they sent me a LINE message in advance. A taxi stand came right away. Can I speak Chinese immediately after getting on board? I was asked. I heard that you should look at the words ``I love Taiwan'' on my LINE. Third time in Taiwan. Yes, the conversation ended here, and I decided that I wanted to study Chinese. On this day, the plane arrived 40 minutes early and the driver informed me that he was already waiting. This time, I was able to connect using an esim called Airalo as soon as I arrived, which saved me a lot of time and was very convenient. 1g was barely enough for a 3-night, 4-day solo trip, so I ended up purchasing an additional 1g on the third day. I also use credit when exchanging money, so I exchanged about 15,000 yen in cash and got about 3,000 yuan back.I lost money at Lucky Land again, but I guess there's nothing I can do about it . I was so happy to be able to come to Taiwan, and I was grinning from the plane. At this time, I was impressed by the night view from the highway and was grinning again. The driver drove very safely and was very kind, and I got very excited every time I saw this Taipei green sign . In the meantime, we arrived at Hotel Relax 5 in about 30 minutes. It's been 5 months. Yes, thank you. Ooooh! The first thing you see when you enter is the shower. That's a good idea! So, there's a safe and a refrigerator. Yes, it's beautiful. There's a bed, a TV here, water, and so on, so it looks like you can see a great view of Taipei, Taiwan (though you can't really see it). I wonder if it's cosmetic surgery. I think I'll get my surgery done and go home! This is the toilet, and the washroom is compact, but it's clean and has soap. What a luxurious toilet. Isn't it really nice to be able to see outside while sitting here ? Open! This will be my home for three days. Wow so cute. So, since it's 11:50, I'd like to go to a convenience store and get some food. The smell of convenience stores makes me feel like Taiwan. there were! my favorite sandwich. Is this soup wheat? I didn't like the smell. Let's buy some strawberries today. I'm in Taiwan...I 'm just thinking, this is what I'm going to eat today, and I want to eat it and go to bed. I ate here before returning home on a refreshing morning in Taipei last time, and it was delicious, so I came back again.The staff is also very kind. It's lively and crowded from the morning. The beginning of this journey is Shen Dou Jiang.The first time I ate this Shen Dou Jiang in Taiwan at a different restaurant, it was too sour and I have stayed away from Shen Dou Jiang since then, but this time I had it again . When I looked at it, it wasn't that sour, and the soup stock was very effective, so it was very delicious. In Taiwan , no matter what you eat, it always tastes bland, which is a bit unsatisfactory for me, so I added a little soy sauce to the sheng dou jiang as well. I love cheese dumpin so much that I want to eat it every meal, and it's even more delicious when served with the sweet sauce they have in the store. After eating these two Taiwanese breakfasts, I felt fulfilled that my trip to Taiwan had started. The journey begins in my favorite city, Dihua Street. As you head north from Taipei Main Station, the atmosphere of the city gradually changes. I would like to try breakfast at this restaurant next time. After passing through the alley, you will come to the vicinity of Eiraku Market. This area feels nostalgic, as if the world has suddenly changed. On this day in late March, the temperature was 27℃ and the humidity was 98%.Even though I still had the heating on at home, Taiwan was already feeling like summer.It was hot, so I bought some tea and sat on a bench until the store opened. I'll drink it. This store does not allow in-store photography or YouTube. I'm happy to be able to buy peanut snacks this time. The store clerks kindly serve customers in Japanese. Fisherman's net bags can be seen everywhere. It's a luxurious walk, with the sound of motorbikes, the smell of exhaust gas, and the smell of Taiwanese medicinal food all mixed together, as you look at the menu in illegible text and wonder what kind of food it will be. And I arrived at Taiwan Biyori, which I wanted to visit. They had a selection of cute miscellaneous goods such as Chinese shoes, kneaded perfume, and this fisherman's net motif coin case.I bought a Calpis glass here. The store clerk's brother spoke good Japanese and was very friendly, and there was a space inside the store where you could have tea. You can also buy peanut sweets and pineapple cakes at this shop , as well as magnets with Taiwanese beer motifs, keychain- shaped yo-yokers, and i-cash that you don't often see. I'm really happy to have these because they don't sell very often. They also sold pouches made of Taiwanese flower cloth and chicken rice T-shirts, and the inside of the store was a wonderful shop selling everything from funny items to fashionable and cute items. And the inside of Eiraku Market was also very crowded. I once again thought that I would like to eat a meal to express my gratitude for using all the ingredients in their dishes . They sell some noodles. 100 yuan? These are the sword-cut noodles that I wanted, and they come in 15 servings and are cheap! We will continue walking along Dihua Street. In the morning, Dihua Street was buzzing with activity as people prepared for the day ahead. The Gao Jian Tong store was very popular on this day as well.I came to buy a pouch that I regretted not buying last time.I was quite confused about the size, but it is a wallet that I will use when I come to Taiwan, such as coins, bills, and credit cards. I bought the smallest one for 200 yuan that can hold three separate cards . It's pretty easy to use. Colorful fisherman's woven bags are so cute that you can keep looking at them. Last time I was in the store, an old man told me that this store sells things that are rare even among Taiwanese people. I buy dried fruits and menma. You can often see fisherman's net bags on Dihua Street, even in places other than Gao Jian Tong Store. Since it's hot, I went to this shop to get some almond tofu shaved ice. It is a small and cozy shop with azuki and peanut toppings . It was very hot at this time, so eating this shaved ice brought me back to life. The flavor of the almond tofu was elegant and delicious with a subtle, gentle sweetness. Like Douhua, it was quite large, and they gave me two spoons, but it was a little interesting since I was by myself no matter how I looked at it. Many people around me were sharing one with two people. I chose two types of toppings. I made it with azuki beans and boiled peanuts. It's buried in the almond tofu and has no flavor on its own, so it's like eating it with the shaved ice and the sweetness of the almond tofu. Thank you for the meal. Proceed east with Dihua Street behind you. In Taiwan, I feel like I can walk as much as I want. However, Dihua Street is nice because it has a lot of souvenirs . No matter how many times I've been there, it's still a nice city...it's a place I've always wanted to visit, and it's very lively with tourists. You can get pork blood soup at this restaurant. Thank you for letting me sit in your special seat. I was talking to the father at the shop and forgot to take a video. Dad shows me his smartphone and says that Avanghieldi has come from Japan! And this soup was very hot and the garlic and dashi stock were very effective. The congealed pork blood was jiggly and soft, had no smell, and had a slight liver-like taste, so delicious that I ate it in a sweat. On the way, the mother of the couple sitting next to me took care of my large luggage and told me with a smile to put it down instead of carrying it in my hands as it was heavy. Even though it was in Chinese, I was able to understand it very well even though I didn't understand the language. I was really happy that you were so kind to me. thank you very much. Thank you for the meal. It was refreshing to see everyone having fun eating under the banyan tree. I'm really happy to be here. Due to the heat and heavy souvenirs, I decided to use Uber for the first time on this trip. This time, it suddenly feels like a city atmosphere. At this time, I was thinking about the knife-shaved noodles that I had just bought, and I wanted to eat them with this seasoning and fried shallots (^～^) , so I bought them. I can't take it home on a plane! Idiot, too stupid... There are so many cute things. This is cute, 69 yuan. This is cute too, I want a can. A cute grandma's perfume. Be careful not to accidentally buy liquids! In any case, Shennong Seikatsu sells a lot of attractive seasonings and original goods, so it's worth seeing. hot! Things like knife-cut noodles, glass cups, and soy sauce are heavy, so I think I'll go back to the hotel for a while. I finally arrived at Taipei Main Station. I would like to stay at Meander Hotel someday. Tired, we finally arrived at the hotel and took a little rest. Stroll around the Resurrection Hotel. They sell a lot of reasonably priced pineapple cakes, and this time I bought one from Kufuku for work. I was patrolling for white Chinese shoes for the summer, but since I had the ones I bought last time, I decided to save money. I love the back alleys of Taiwan. Back alley fetish. I also really like walking around and looking at the signs with the years on them. I'm heading to the night market by a wonderful bus that takes me to a nostalgic and different world just by entering a narrow street in the city.I want to eat boiled dumplings. I thought I was able to get on the bus, but it turned out to be going in the opposite direction... I immediately got off at the next bus stop and waited for the bus heading towards the night market. 30 minutes later, the bus didn't come and it was pitch black. After waiting for the soup dumplings at the bus stop where I wanted to eat , I took an Uber to the night market. I bought a Taiwanese beer and waited in line for 20 minutes because that's what I wanted to eat (^～^) On this day, I really wanted to eat this so I came here. This tastes like a flavored vegetable dumpling, with chives and cabbage being 80% meat and 20% meat. It had the main scent of chives and garlic , was packed with ingredients , and was the winner of this trip. It was really delicious and disappeared in an instant along with the Taiwanese beer. I also wanted to eat rice, so I went to the restaurant next door and had chicken rice. This one was quite bland and contained large pieces of chicken and stewed shiitake mushrooms, and the taste was quite average. One of my favorite times is eating at Taiwan's night markets while looking up at the cityscape and buildings at night . A lively night market on weekends. It is small in size. To finish off your meal, have a sweet potato ball. It started raining so I took an Uber to the hotel. Spending ¥1,700 in taxi fare for ¥336 of boiled gyoza is another fond memory of my trip. lol I'm taking a bath and getting ready for bed. I'm the type of person who can't sleep when I change places, so when I travel, I always bring my hand cream, pajamas, and medicine with me. If you sleep in the same style as when you sleep at home, you will sleep much better. In order to have a good trip for myself, I never cut back on my sleep time and try not to leave my legs feeling tired. Personally , it's very important to me because the quality of my trip has improved and I'm not as tired after returning and can go back to work the next day . Also, the free milk tea at Hotel Relax 5 was fragrant, rich, quite sweet, and very delicious. I received this and went to bed today. I'm going to have breakfast drinking Taiwanese tea while bathing in the morning light.Today is also refreshing. I came to a breakfast restaurant 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Even the bread that looks delicious is a problem. On this day as well, we will be having Shen Dou Jiang and Cheese Dumping at a different restaurant than yesterday. This restaurant was also popular from the morning. There were quite a lot of tourists. The cheese dumpin didn't have much of a green onion taste and had a light taste. The sauce at the restaurant was not sweet but salty. The shendoujian had a strong tofu flavor and was piping hot. Both were very delicious and it was a fulfilling start to today. Thank you for the meal. I decided on a place to go today where I stopped at a nearby park and soaked up the sunlight . I love this feeling of Taiwan, the mixture of freshness and exhaust fumes. After a short walk, I headed to Taipei Main Station. I have a phobia of buses (lol) so I'm going to take the MRT today. Taipei Station after a long time. I'm not interested in tourist spots, but I want to see something, so I'll go there. An accordion player played ``Seto no Hanayome.'' If you listen to it suddenly, you'll hear the cry of the magical bird from the Showa era, which will make you cry. On this day as well, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall towers over the sunny skies with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and humidity of over 90 percent, looking pure white and divine. The guards are beautiful and never move, and they do an amazing job. The bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek is also impressive. Thank you for letting me come visit you in Taiwan. I'm really glad I was able to come and see it with my own eyes. Miraculously, I was able to get on the bus (I'm happy) and now I'm going to go eat that. It's a stylish and clean store, and there are some menu items you'll want to try.It's a paradise to drink Heineken from noon. I wanted to eat this tomato! First, let's start with regular xiao long bao. The skin was thin and there was so much soup that it spilled out of the spoon, so it was very delicious. And the tomato that was attached to this plum was the sweetest and most delicious tomato I've ever eaten in my life. Along with yesterday's boiled dumplings, this was also one of the winning dishes on this trip. Is this plum-pickled tomato dish available at other restaurants in Taiwan ? I want to eat this tomato every time. And this is the shop's recommended truffle xiaolongbao. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never eaten truffles before, so this was my first time having them. Personally, I found the regular xiaolongbao to be delicious, although I had the impression that it had a strange aroma. Thank you for the meal. Head towards the Nanjing reconstruction area. Discovered Taipei Dome. What the heck! It contains Japanese chateraise. This is my first time visiting Muji in Taiwan. There are many items that would make good souvenirs, such as Taiwanese tea and dried fruits. It looks like it has a good taste that can only be bought in Taiwan! The dried fruit packaging was cute, but I thought it was a bit pricey. I'm tired so I'm heading to a cafe. It was fully booked, but they let me in at the counter if I could. I had a cafe au lait in the retro shop, which was a great way to cool off since I was tired from the heat. I would like to thank the store staff for their kindness, and thank you for the meal. There's something about this expression that bothers me. I'll stop by the supermarket. Get some fried shallots Let's have a snack... I'll have chimaki (chimaki) (^～^) Various seasonings such as soybean flour ◎ It was much more filling than it looked. The tamaki used for this filling is filled with luxurious ingredients such as chestnuts, shiitake mushrooms, and braised pork. It kept falling apart while I was eating it. It's gone. Although the flavor was light, the chestnuts were very sweet and the fatty pork was soft and delicious. I came to Liaoning Street Night Market, which is just a short walk away. It's great to have a place with such a local feel right next to the office buildings . There were creatures swimming that I had never seen before . I wanted to eat shrimp and goose meat, but I was too full. When I travel, I always find myself wishing I had four stomachs like a cow. The colorful fish also have a tropical feel. The night market when the sun starts to set is also very atmospheric. Next time I'll come when I'm hungry. Head to the bus stop that will take you to your hotel. When I asked about the bus using a translation app, I met a kind mother who could speak Japanese. To my surprise, she decided to ride the bus with me (tears) , and then I talked to her about various things for about 20 minutes. My mom loves Japan and is a big SnowMan fan. We watched SnowMan's YouTube together and had a lot of fun. He was worried that I might get lost and told me where to get off the bus. Mom, when you come to Japan for SnowMan's live performance, please enjoy it≡⊂( ^-^)⊃ After getting off the bus, she blew me a kiss from the window, so I blew her a kiss too. 😘Ah , what a kind person. Taiwanese people are kind. I don't know what else to say. I'm glad you got on safely. (He was so happy that he walked for a while, muttering to himself) Ah, I made it home safely. I'm home~. Today is another wonderful night to look at souvenirs. I went to a convenience store to buy a late night snack. Last time I asked the staff at Seven about the delicious tomato beef noodles and slightly expensive pineapple cake , he told me that it had egg in it , so I ate it and it was the most delicious pineapple cake I've ever had.The sweetness and saltiness were exquisite.Before I returned home. Let's buy it. Today I say goodbye to the view from this toilet on the day I return home . I went to have breakfast and learned that Taiwanese buses don't seem to have timetables. If you're at a bus stop that has a lot of buses coming up one after another, you'll be able to catch it. Many bikes! A delicious way to eat it is with garlic, spiciness, and a little bit of black vinegar. When I looked closely, I realized that I had added too much garlic. I'll have the Sogo Noodle Strings. The ingredients include oysters and offal. The oysters were very soft and had no flavor. The offal had a stewed taste. I don't like cilantro, so I left it out, but it usually has cilantro in it too. The staff was very kind and carefully taught me how to add seasonings. It has a mild taste but is quite filling for breakfast. Thank you very much, and thank you for the meal. Ningxia Night Market in the morning, the scenery is completely different at night and day. Before returning home, I will take a walk around Dihua Street. I love the atmosphere of Dihua Street from Ningxia Road. Watch the mothers dance in the park. Today's temperature is close to 30 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is high.This is the place that impressed me the first time I came to Taiwan. There was a nice smell of incense at night, and it was mysterious. There is a hotel on this street that has a downtown feel. This is the first hotel I stayed at in Taiwan. Anyway, it's retro and cute. This is the view when you go outside. I'm happy that menma costs 50 yuan. My favorite copochan! After cooling down at the hotel, check out. Thank you for the 4 days! I have to accept the reality of going back... I will burn the scenery of Taipei. Come to think of it, the soy sauce I bought at Shinno Seikatsu was confiscated at the security check (of course!) The sheriff's brother said, ``Is it OK to throw it away?!''...I'm sorry for being an idiot. There is a bakery near the boarding gate. I decided to eat while watching the planes. The sweet dough goes well with the salty sausage. Also the expensive pineapple cake I bought yesterday. I love the combination of sweet and salty in Taiwanese food. On the way home, sit by the window at the very back. I like the realistic Douhua key chain I bought at the airport. ⇧I'm crying a little Whenever I take off from Taiwan, I feel so lonely that I cry. Before coming to Taiwan, I was exhausted from implementing a new system at work, and my brain and physical strength were exhausted. I forgot about that situation and had a wonderful solo trip. Every time I come to Taiwan, I feel more energetic than before I came. For me, Taiwan's kind people, delicious food, and cityscape are all things that make me feel energized.It takes me just over three hours to get back. It's my paradise, both near and far. I'll be back to work tomorrow when I can see the local lights . We have to overcome the hell of introducing a new system. By the time I upload all of these videos, I'm sure you'll be a little used to it. Once you get off the plane, you're back to reality. I'll be working for a while, and then I'll go on my next trip.
