The Story
Taipei was honestly such a serve, babes. The humidity was real, but my outfits stayed fire while I soaked up all the gossip and glamour this spot had to offer. I was obsessed with how the ancient tea traditions collided with such futuristic neon glow-ups.
I started my adventure by watching the guards at the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, which was basically a choreographed dance routine in white uniforms. Afterwards, I trekked to the National Palace Museum to see ancient treasures before grabbing some bubble tea near the Dadaocheng wharf. I also checked out the Xia-Hai City God temple to pray for a wealthy partner, because a girl has priorities.
The whole experience was quite cheap, honestly, especially considering how much dim sum I inhaled. It was a lovely getaway, and I left feeling like an absolute legend. If you need me, I will be planning my next escape to find more tea and drama.
