My sister and I extended our trip and off to Kaohsiung we go after our parents left.

It was a 4 to 5 hours bus ride from Taipei and tickets can be purchased from Taipei Main Station.

I was quite excited to explore Kaohsiung cause it was my first time there!

Compared to Taipei, Kaohsiung is more laid back, food are relatively cheaper and the city is not as advanced. Not forgetting the weather in Kaohsiung was way warmer than than Taipei's. Sunscreen is a must if you're traveling there during midyear.

If it's your first time to Kaohsiung like me, here are 12 things you should do!

Does it look like I have been to Taiwan way too much? I've been there twice for the past 2 years, and I was there again for the third time during July. However, it was my first time being there during mid year and the weather was horrible, it was much warmer and sunnier than Singapore.

I visited Taipei once again and I was with my family this time round. It has been ages since our last family vacation. So my sister and I decided to bring my parents to some of the tourist attractions and our favourite dining spots. And this trip, we've discovered more awesome food!
