my Taipei Travel Guide for Food Lovers: This is the vlog of Day 1 of our Taiwan trip (stay tuned for all 12 days of vlogs. We woke up early in the morning in Bangkok and headed to Don Muaeng Airport. We checked into our flight via Tiger Air that offers a directly flight at a pretty good rate from Bangkok to Taipei. Everything went smoothly and our flight arrived on time. They didnt serve any food on our airplane, but luckily as I was doing some work, my wife Ying went and bought some Subway for the airplane ride. So while I didnt have airplane food this time, I did have Subway on an airplane. We landed in Taipei, Taiwan, my first time to ever visit Taiwan in the early afternoon, and I had little clue how we were going to get from the airport to the center of Taipei and then on to our hotel. We ended up walking down stairs where we caught a shuttle bus from Taoyuan International Airport for 30 TWD to the Taoyuan train station in order to connect with the Taiwan high speed rail that would take us into the center of Taipei. From Taoyuan railway station we took the high speed rail which cost 165 TWD and in about 20 minutes we arrived at Taipei Main station, which is the major hub of transportation in the center of Taipei. From there we caught the local Metro to Ximen station, where our hotel was booked. After wandering around for a little while and getting a bit lost, we finally arrived into our hotel, called Go Sleep Hotel and the Xining branch, located right within the busy shopping and cultural district of Ximending in Taipei. We arrive to the hotel at about 6 pm almost and we were all very hungry and wanted to have our first meal in Taipei but I had no idea what we were going to eat. After walking around Ximending for a few minutes we sat down at the nearest restaurant we could find that was serving local Taiwanese food. Although I didnt really know what we were ordering, the owner of the restaurant was very nice and after pointing to a few dishes, she kindly brought them to our table. Our first meal in Taipei, Taiwan was a success. From there we just walked around Ximending for a while, enjoying the atmosphere and sampling a few snacks along the way. There was so much food in this area, that is was crazy, so much to eat this Taipei travel guide video vlog from Bangkok to Taipei. This is Day 1 of our Taiwan travel adventure

Hi, MarkI just added a Chinese (Taiwan) subtitle to this video. Don't know how many reviews I need to have it published. I'd like to add more subtitles on your videos so more and more Taiwanese friends of mine can get to know you. Cheers.

You exaggerate too much when you eat food acting as if the food is always delicious even when it is not. After a short time, you are no longer believable and there is no way to tell when the food you are eating is actually good.

What's with the face mate? you pull the same look every time you put food in your mouth and I'm sorry to say it's not a good look. I quite like your videos but the face pulling is off putting, soz.
