Jiufen & Ximending

Onto my trip to Taiwan! I had so much planned for my first day that even I was surprised I was able to keep to my insane schedule. Haha. Starting in the morning, I was pretty much tossing and turning until I got up at 5:45am to leave for the airport. I took the subway to Central and got my boarding pass before proceeding towards the airport. By the time I got through the gates I finally had time to…

Chicago Part 2

Chicago Part 2

For day 2 of Chicago, we started the morning off by grabbing breakfast at the hotel, then we hopped on the L and transferred to a bus to take us to the Field Museum. As the bus started to approach the museum, I was shocked by its sheer size. It was humongous! Luckily we got there close to opening, so we had enough time to go through all the floors. The museum had a couple of special exhibits that were…
