You went there for how long, and what was your objective I guess I'd say?
24:09
say?Um, so I was there for just over three weeks, and I was in Taipei for I think five nights when I first arrived.
24:18
And really it was just to experience Taiwan, and I didn't know where I was gonna go.
24:23
But once I got there, I started looking into it.
24:26
And, you know, I would meet people on other day tours, for example, who would say, "Oh, I went to this city and it was really cool." Or, you know, one girl I met, she had gone to, uh, Sun Moon Lake, and she ended up going to Taichung, which we were in Taichung the same time, so we were able to meet up and go to a night market together, and the next day went to a cafe.
24:47
So if you look at the map of Taiwan, Taipei is at the top, and there's a couple really cool day tours that you can do.
24:56
One I did that kind of goes northwest into the mountains, and there's hot springs where you soak your feet in these natural hot springs.
