My last day in Taiwan! I did something that I had never really done before on vacation. I was still a little upset that I missed the sunset at Kaomei the night before, so I purposely set my alarm for 4:30am so I could attempt to see the sunrise.

Onto day 2 of Taiwan. I woke up around 6am to get ready for the day.

From the 30°c weather in Taichung to the snow in Shirakawago, I’ve pretty much seen enough in two weeks to last me for…
