What a beautiful varietey of impressions
Thank you for taking us to Taiwan with you. The lanterns are just so creative and built with so much attention to detail. It must be beautiful to see them in full size and colour. And I had no idea one could get tasty chocolate in Taipei. As a foodie, I would have enjoyed that, too. And all the other food as well, I suppose :-)

What a beautiful variety of impressions
Thank you for coming along and sending a message. The attention to detail was spectacular. As a foodie you need a visit to Taipei.

fascinating
This looks like a spectacular place to visit with so much to offer and so much to do and eat. How does your friend, Michael, manage to live such an exciting and exotic life?

It was a fun place to visit. Michael is an accountant and can do remote work. He's retiring soon.

Personal Guide
I love how you meet up with such amazing friends while you are on the road, and share your experience with them. Sometimes, such as this one, you have a personal guide while other-times you simply share the experience. Too often you travel with comic relief to add to your wicked humor. This sounds like a very good stop on the trip, and I am glad you were able to be there for the Year of the Dragon. Travel onward my friends.

Personal Guide
We could use some comic relief and wish you were with us. We will travel soon. Year of the dragon was a lot of fun. So vibrant and colorful.

Busan and Jeju
Oh no, sorry to hear about Merry's cold - not fun when you're travelling... The hop-on hop-off bus tour sounds a great way to explore Busan, such a spread-out city. So glad you got to go to Jeju, as I wasn't able to fit this into my trip. Indeed, travelling in the off-season has its cons as well as pros. Glad at least to read you were able to try the local tangerines.

Busan and Jeju
On a long trip of six weeks or more I usually suffer some illness. It slowed me down but didn't stop me for long. On limited time it is always difficult to decide what to see and what to leave out. I'm glad we had a couple of days exploring before I needed to rest. We liked the vibe on Jeju.

Although food and lanterns sound great...
I was most interested in the foot/leg massages! I could have used one on my last trip. It sure is nice to have a knowledgeable fellow traveler show you around.

Although food and lanterns sound great....
The foot leg massages were grand and as we wrote this I'm not sure why we didn't do it every night. Ah, lessons learned... next time. It was great having Michael who was a wealth of knowledge. We enjoy our time with Michael and loved the chocolate tasting.

That was great to see Taiwan
You guys are so good at capturing key highlights from a trip. It was a lot of fun to travel together, I'm really grateful the stars aligned to catch up with you both in Taipei. Look forward to our next trip together.

South Korea
Not on any of our wish lists, but maybe it should be. I always find fascination in tales of the border zone. Tunnels, etc..

South Korea
... Maybe it should be. South Korea has far more to offer than I was expecting. It is a clean, neat and orderly society. Well thought out. People who are kind and respect your space. It was a lovely travel experience.

Gangnam Style
So lovely to be visiting your friends in their new home. And yes, it's a treat when you can learn about the public transport from a local rather than trying to figure it out on the run! We look forward to getting back to Seoul one day and exploring it as well as you have :)

Gangnam Style
We liked and connected with Seoul and imagine a lot of it had to do with our friends having so much insider knowledge. Plus the people are so incredibly nice. I forgot to mention the heated bench seats while waiting for the bus were a dream.

Rest..
I'd prefer to have it after the trip. I'm glad you are feeling better.
