Holiday Trip: Taiwan and Japan

Hello, all! I’ve enjoyed a lovely extended holiday overseas. I’m still battling jet lag, but I have enough energy to highlight some of the spots I visited.

Taiwan

I launched a sky lantern. There’s space on the four sides of the lantern to draw pictures and write well wishes or dreams.

I got a treat at breakfast. Look at these cute steamed buns!

An amazing sight I visited was the Fire and Water Spring!

I learned more about the history of indigenous peoples in Taiwan.

I visited two night markets!

I admired the local street art.

Of course, I took a pic of the famous Taipei 101.

Japan

I went to two cities in Japan: Kyoto and Tokyo. It was a whirlwind trip, but a lot of fun.

Local Kyoto cuisine: obanzai, simple seasonal dishes.
The iconic Golden Pavilion
At the Ghibli Museum–look at this kawaii cat faucet.
The floating lantern room at the digital art museum in Tokyo.

  1. What gorgeous photos, Jennifer. The one with the totems, is that in Taiwan also? I didn’t realize totems were historical to that region. I’m sure they’d make interesting stories.

      Thanks, Mona! There are definitely totems in Taiwan. Quite a few indigenous groups are native to the area.
