From the pictures I’ve seen, Taiwan is such a beautiful country, and I hate to admit I didn’t get to experience enough of it (excuse that I’ll just have to revisit in the future).  Enjoy photos from my short 4-day trip here!

Since I wasn’t able to eat/see/do as much as I had hoped, I’m also attaching a list of things I’m determined to do next time around:

– Night Market goodies: oyster omelette, crispy chicken, oyster thick vermicelli, steak platter, chua bin (shaved ice)

– Yang Ming Shan 陽明山國家公園 and “The Top”  屋頂上

– Jiufen 九份

– Hotsprings in Beitou

Did I miss anything on the list?  Any additional recommendations?
