Taipei

Went to Taiwan last April and here are some things I'll definitely do again if I come back as a solo traveler.

1 - Use e-sim instead of pocket wi-fi.
The line is actually not that long during claiming (Taoyuan Airport). However, for me it's a hassle to go back to the booth just to return it. E-sim is also reliable and no problem with connect

2 - Bring extra pair of shoes if you're staying for a couple of days. My last trip was 6D5N aand I only brought a pair of shoes. My friend said Taipei weather is unpredictable and surely I got soaked on my 2nd day. Thankfully the hotel I'm staying have dryer.

3 - Hotel. Don't mind adding a little extra if this will give you comfort! I had a wonderful stay at Main Inn Taipei and will probably be back here!

4 - Buy an IC card holder. For someone forgetful like me, this is a must! You won't need to rummage on your bag or pockets.

5 - Load your IC with enough value, it's easy to top-up on convenience stores. Always bring cash! Not all shops accepts card.

6 - When lost, Google Map is the key! Learn how the train lines work (Taipei), You don't need to memorize them all, just check the station name/line color. No need to be afraid during transfer, there are signages every where!
