As usual, lemme present a painstakingly-pieced-together video to tell our Taiwan trip 台灣之旅.
These 35 days were the longest period I’ve ever left the protection of my family and home, and also the longest time I spent with my newly converted fiancé. However glorious our photos and video may turn out, no one can see the kind of sweat, blood, and quarrels Loti and I went through behind. Nonetheless, I’m glad that our ability to resolve problems and 默契 grew stronger over the time 🙂
Also, after a touring half of Taiwan, Loti and I came out with a list of the best (and a few worst) places. Note that the following are ranked according to what we felt and experienced, hence they’re NOT facts ok.
