    Travel Journal | Taipei 2016

    A few weeks ago, I made my way to Taipei again for a whirlwind 3-day trip to get some personal matters sorted out. As it was a short trip, I decided to make use of the unused  pages in my TN insert I used before. My entries this time is quite a contrast to my last year’s Taipei trip. Less images and texts but I quite love how they turned out. There was pre-planning on the pages to use, just went with the flow. The special edition TN stickers I managed to pick up went perfectly with my pages… That’s it… If you follow me on IG, you may have read…

    Travel Journal | Taipei

    As with all my travels the past few years, I document these as much as I can. On the recent Taipei trip (read here and here), I’ve made the documenting even simpler with only a few basic stuff that I brought with me, packed into my Delfonics Inner Carrying pouch. Here’s a look at the few pages I used inside my handmade leather Traveler’s Notebook system using the 013 insert.

So I first went to Di Hua Jie which wasn’t too far from the hotel to get some of the food/snacks I wanted to bring back to Shanghai. I also went in search of PS3/PSP games around the taipei Train Station underground mall to no avail. What I was looking for was either too old, too new, or sold out!

    Destination | Taipei (Part 1)

    It has been a couple years since my last trip to Taipei. The last trip was only for 3 days, I think, and it was not a great one. And even though this trip was purely to get some papers done, I had this list of places to go to and things to do, taking advantage of the fact I was travelling alone (without kids) for the first time in a long time. I even had a plan to do a post about the stationery stores on the list. Sigh! It was not meant to be… Nevertheless, I want to share some photos from the trip which is in 2 segments…
