Bubble milk tea, here I come! That’s the first thought that came to my mind when I got the invitation for a media trip to Taiwan to get the inside scoop of the latest trends and techniques in dermal filler from Restylane. Of course, there will be another post on the whole subject altogether, but let’s start with my travel journal first.
I’ve never visited Taiwan and from what I’ve heard, it’s quite a nice place to visit, though I only got the chance to visit the capital – Taipei. It’s a very packed 4-day trip but I was lucky enough that the organisers included visiting tourists attraction as well as the various night markets that Taiwan is known for.
I flew Garuda Indonesia, departing close to midnight and arriving close to 7 AM the next day. Now my problem is that we didn’t get the chance to tidy up once we landed in Taiwan and we went straight to our next itinerary. Let the pictures speak!
The first destination that we went to is Teresa Teng Memorial Park (Yun Garden) in Jinbaoshan. She’s a famous Taiwanese singer who reportedly died from an asthma attack while on holiday in Thailand. I didn’t know who Teresa Teng was until that day, but it’s said to be a beautiful place to visit. And a visit to this place will surely change your perception of the conventional cemeteries impression that is very dark and solemn. In fact, it’s placed in a hilly area with beautiful scenery overlooking the coasts of Jinshan. The stone sculptures in the picture above should convey what I mean, you wouldn’t think that this is at a cemetery wouldn’t you? (more…)
