The scenery felt like I was in a fantasy movie, where the Queen was totally mad at the Princess for taking away the Fairy Shoe. The Queens wrath resulted for the whole kingdom to be in a gloomy state, coupled with rain and harsh waves.

I imagine it while looking at the amazing stone formation of Yehliu Geopark. It was a gloomy weather when we visited but still, the experience was somewhat magical.

As soon as 12mn struck that night, our door bell rang and Ruth insinuated me to open the door. She once again setup a surprise celebration. It wasn’t that fancy but I really appreciated the thought of checking in the hotel restaurant, sourcing out and collaborating with the hotel staff just to have wine and chocolates on that night. It was sweet.

I fell in love at Ximending as soon as we get off our taxi. We were rolling our luggage from the busy streets to the hotel, yet it didn’t matter at all. My eyes were already feasting at the shops surrounding the area. This neighbourhood is truly alive and I can’t wait to explore this side of the city.

Tucked in the middle of the bustling streets of Ximeding, is a seemingly secret passage to what we can call a hideout. Amba Taipei Ximending Hotel is situated in the middle of what we can say the ‘Harajuku of Taipei.’ Busy, Youthful, and glittering, just the right place to go if you really wanted to see Taiwan’s fashion, and subculture.

It was a coincidence at first, but I think It’s becoming a habit. I didn’t realise that I am booking flights that fall on my birthday. Celebrating my birthday isn’t really a thing for me that I considered it mostly as a regular day, but I think, recognising it just gave me an excuse to book a flight and travel. Last year it was Cambodia, this time I go to Taiwan. (Check out my Cambodia Vlog series)
