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.

Fighting panic and taking risks

Taipei night view secrets Visiting Elephant mountain at night is not that special. You get a really sunning view on Taipei at night. And a lot of tourism. In fact it is special but not really nice to go there. To avoid tourism I planned a thrilling small hike using the unlighted paths and experience the vibrant jungle at night. Yes, that’s quite frightening but at some point I got curious. While taking pictures of Taipei at the top of Elephant mountain I saw a sign to Muzhi Mountain. Half an hour, 1.5 kilometers, dark unlit path until another peak. Go for it. Heading upwards to the platform my feelings were thrilling. The darkness got more as closer I got to Mountain Muzhi. The path got smaller and the jungle got louder. I want to give you an impression of my journey: It is dark. You are alone. Separated from others. Nothing to hear, except the whirring insects. Wind blows slightly through the huge bamboo. Somewhere a creaking noise. Suddenly a loud rustling right next to me....

Arrived

(Wrote that on flight) Only two hours to go...  I am feeling a bit inconveniant due to a cold, but for the rest fine. I am very confident with the sirvice of the airlines and the kindness of the personal. First you have to know that this was my first flight. So I had no clear image of what to do in which prder at the airport. In Düsseldorf I just went to the information desk. Due to my online check they sent me directly to the drop off. The lady at the drop off station was very kind and checked me in for my second flight from Vienna to Taipei. In Vienna I just walked to the other gate and directly into the plane. Now on the second flight I asked if I can get an emergency seat. I had luck and got a place for humans with long legs in economy class. The meals are of good quality concerning the circumstances. The flight personal is very kind and polite (I know it's their Job to do so) let me give you am example: I asked if they have a power outlet with USB-port to charge my mo...
