Projects and PHOTOS

YouTube

I just started a YouTube channel and I really want to post some videos but currently I am not able to because there are so many new things. Everything changes and I just need time to get used to it. I have many ideas for cool vlogs and other projects. For example I want to collect peoples' first impressions on Taiwan and Taipei. I want to record this with my iPad. My aim is to post a Video like this every 5 to 8 weeks and see if something changes. Maybe due to weather or other circumstances in Taiwan.

Walkabout Tour

The Walkabout Tour is part of my work as trainee in Topology Travel (topologytravel.com). It is a tour for locals to visit uncommon places in and around Taipei. Jesper, another trainee, and I are supposed to, first be a tour guide for a recent tour and then create our own tour to a place we decide. I really appreciate this work because it is very independent and we have much space to do the things the way we want to. We have many ideas and enough time and space to gain experience and learn new things about how to be a good tour guide and background knowledge about the places we visit.

Facebook
Another part of my work will be to publish two or three photos a day on the Topology Travel Facebook page (Topology-Travel-in-Real-Taiwan Facebook). Some of these photos will be added to my blog (seperated post). I don't really know how this will evolve in future. But again: There is much to learn and find out.


                                              

I found a music store with some nice ukulele and a nice guitar I bought! :)))




This is North Gate in Taipei. It was build during the Qing dynasty and is the only of the 5 gates that still look like it was build!


Some noodle soup in Ximending. Very delicious and the best to get after a long walk!



Some strange guy with strange art... This photo was taken beside the Red House near Ximen station. Btw: The Red House was the first public market in Taiwan and build in 1908.


Yes this is a temple! The entrance only slightly between shops. Here many Taiwanese come once a month to practice their religion: Taoism.

Inside: This is a very impressing place. Build very detailed and a kind of scary and holy place for me.


Nice work! A street artist just finished the Transformers character Optimus Prime. The figure is made of wire in different colors. Very impressive work. He told me this took him two weeks. 
The guy next to him was some friend who just joined the photo! Taiwanese are very funny and not scared of strangers or photobomb.



That's it for today! If you have any questions due to my work or my life here in Taipei, leave a comment below! Make sure to add my Instagram and Twitter to get the current pictures or posts during this amazing time.

Why Toby and Thelmas Camping is worth travelling any distance to.

Paradise After an amazing, silent night with the calming sound of the ocean in the background, I woke up and got out of my tent to recognize I was in paradise: Camping The campground is only small and offers space for maximum 15 persons. The small group of guests provided the opportunity of a friendly and relaxing atmosph ere. Moreover the bewitching environment, the friendly staff and the amazing food made this campground a priceless experience for me. The price of about 26 € per night included three meals a day (two buffet meals and a breakfast) and free use of all equipment for example Kayaks.  I took a ten minute ride to the next small island everyday.  This small Island was called "the office" It was the only opportunity to get some Internet and a call from my girlfriend. Actually this week was very hard for the relationship. The time difference, a bad connection, we were able hear each other only a few times

Long time no see!

Arriving in Tokyo was a two parted experience. My first thought when I left the airplane was: It's so cold!  And yes, I felt the 30 degree drop from Phillipines to Tokyo.  The cold air soaked me in as soon as I left the airplane. The second thought was: I am going to meet a good friend soon! Ruben and I are friends since we met in school. He decided to go to Tokyo for one year and I decided to go to Taiwan, so the decision was easy to visit Tokyo. The city itself is a very busy, modern, weird, full, vibrant and traditional place at the same time. Nothing like Taipei or Manila. The buildings are large around the touristic parts but get lower as soon as you leave them. I immediately felt lost in the urban jungle. It was freezing in that time and although I got sick we went out every day to see the all the different facettes that Tokyo offers. Another thing you should consider if you are going to visit Tokyo, is that it is super expensive. I spent the money f
