Three Little Things I Learned From My Taiwan Trip
I am still a newbie when it comes to travelling. I love that I get to discover and learn about how to enjoy my vacation every time. For my recent trip in Taiwan, I learned three little things which might also be helpful to you.
1. Shared bathroom is not bad at all
For my previous trips, we had our own toilet and bath inside the room just because we think that sharing it with other people is a bit eeeekkkyyy! But for my trip to Taiwan, I had to consider shared bathroom because I want to maximize my limited budget. To my surprise, it wasn't that bad! Luckliy, the toilet and bath in Muiu Inn is really clean. In our floor, we have two cubicles for shower, one for toilet and a separate restroom outside where you can poop in peace! Hahahah!
I think I'll consider booking a room with shared bathroom again in my next travel. You just have to read blogs and check a lot of pictures of the hotel you are eyeing to be sure that you can do all your bathroom rituals comfortably.
2. Don't be afraid to swipe that credit card
I did not plan to use my credit card for this trip because I'm afraid of the possible charges I might incur. But when we entered a grocery store (which is my happy place), I just had to take that courage and swipe my credit card. I spent 414 TWD for my pasalubongs and when I checked my bill, the reflected amount in Peso is 699.14. If you will compute the conversion rate, it is at 1.69 PHP to 1 TWD. It's much cheaper because I bought my TWD at 1.85 PHP rate.
For my next travel, I'll make sure to maximize my credit card especially when you have the option not to pay in cash.
3. Visit two places per day
I really planned a "chill" trip. When I say chill, I want to enjoy but relax and rest as well. I just want to emphasize on the word rest. Our day in Taiwan goes like this: wake-up/prepare > go around/eat > go back to the hotel to sleep > go around/eat > sleep. Yeah, we go back to the hotel after lunch to sleep. Hahahah! We want to make sure we have enough energy for the next day. But of course, this depends on how you want to go about your vacation. In my previous trips, we try go to as many places as we can but then I realized that I didn't get to enjoy it because we're always on the rush. For this trip, I really wanted to immerse myself in the place and enjoy every corner thus we spent two to three hours per place.
I can't wait to travel again soon! Share with me the little things you learned from your trips so I can make use of it! :)
