So, I’m not exactly sure where to start so much to say and so many pictures to put up! On this 12 day adventure every single day was packed with exciting adventures, new sights, and amazing people. I really would like to tell you about every day in depth but that might take years. We’ll start with some basics.
We took the HSR (High Speed Rail) up to Taipei on Friday the 13th. Saturday morning (extremely early) we left for the Taipei airport. There we boarded a flight to Bangkok, Thailand. From Bangkok we boarded a flight to Chiang Mei where we spent the night Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning we moved up the mountains (literally) and stayed in the mountains till the next Tuesday. Tuesday morning we loaded all our stuff up and went down the mountain to the Chiang Rei airport. We boarded our flight to Bangkok and had a 6 hour layover in Bangkok. After problems with the plane which made our 6 hour layover now 7 or 8 hours we hopped on a plane to Taipei. We spent what was left of Tuesday night in a hostel and on Wednesday morning we left the hostel and walked to the HSR station. On the map it looked like a 6 block walk…yea, lies! It was a 1 hour walk. We got back to our house at about 5 o’clock PM on Wednesday the 25th.
The reason for this trip was to renew our visas. In Taiwan you can only renew your visa 3 times without leaving the country. Our company that we’re with treats us so well and sends us on a “vacation” to renew our visas. This year they decided to send us all to Thailand. Don’t worry; we just don’t go for a vacation we got to work. In the one week we were in the mountains we worked Monday-Saturday. 2 classes every day and 4 on Saturday. We taught in the late afternoon which left time for touring and seeing places during the day.
It was a pretty amazing 12 days!
More to come within {insert appropriate time here}.
