Victor Blog -My Life Journey
I also work at Part-Time at Fish n co for about 1 year before I depart To Poly. I managed to save up my money $ for myself to travel before my school start. And I chose to travel to Taiwan before that I also got no idea if I would got into poly.
During my solo trip, I also met some random stranger at scoot who also a Singaporean. Thankfully some good souls I met I also go to Ximending so he also going that direction so I tag along with the couple that I had met on Scoot Flight. So we both travel together to ximending and he a season regular traveler to Ximending I would like thanks him for bringing me there else I would have lost in place.
So I book a Scoot flight to Taiwan for about 1 week I stayed in XimenDing one of the hotels.
I learned a lot as a Solo traveler because you can travel everywhere at your own pace without your friends help etc
My hotel is located at Ximending is called Tomorrow Hotel or something. Before I check in I din know during the time I travel there was a cold period so I bought the jacket in Taiwan so that to be able to warm me for at least a few days.
Once I arrived at the hotel, I put my luggage at the hotel because I cannot check-in early first, so I go get Ah Zhong Mee Sua where all Singaporeans will arrive at Ximending to get these noodles because it feels good to eat at Ximending especially in cold weather.

So after having Ah Zhong Mee Sua I finally get to check in my Hotel and put all my Lagauge after that I had some shower and some rest before going start my Tour at TaiWan.
After some rest I got to start my tour and my first tour is to go to the Elephant Walk which everyone had been going there taking photo with the Taipei 101 and the stone but for the stone I din manage to take. During the day 1 I wen't to the elephant walk but it came to fate that it's raining on that day. It is very slippery when you climb up the stairs and remember to wear the right shoe for climbing up. I managed to Hike up and climb to get the view at Night of Taipei 101 under rain.

After the hike and some photo, I then proceed to Taipei 101 meet my ex secondary school friends who stayed in Taiwan I won't be posting her photo here. I went up together with her to the top of the peak of Taipei 101 Top View where I can get see nice scenery but that photo was taken by her.After the whole meet up that end of my Day 1 journey and then I head back to hotel to get some rest to prepare for Day 2

Day 2
Trip to Xiao You Kang - Got excited suddenly about hiking so I never taught Hiking in my life so that is my first experience Hiking well in Taiwan.
While climbing I also met a few tourists who also trying to climb up and I joined forces with them while climbing up.
My leg all turn to jelly and I am not a seasoned hiker. I am not also a believer in "God Prayer" During the mountain climbing experienced I actually make some prayers hence I can't say but it's gonna do with school application and climbing up to finish.
At a glance that I could not believe because I tried many poly application but it was failed then. After the whole trip solo experienced in Taiwan when I got back home - the prayers really heard and I managed to get to CEP this is how my god journey started.
It feels great to climb up on the mountain to clear my mind climbing up was really tough but going down was ok.
And I from that day onward that How I started my god journey.
Day 3
Visit the Chang Kai Shiek at Tai wan, and the famous want that a lot of oversea attraction is the Military where they spin heavy rifle which causes very heavy about 6kg in weight and they selection process to be Honour guard need be at least height 178 cm and cannot be obese, etc. I really love their Military marches and spinning in rifles are cool, during the last day also go back and visit - to the final round of seeing them spinning rifles in sync and also the Flag ceremony. Lastly, there boots kiwi until it's very shinning as well. I also stayed till evening to catched for there lowering ceremony too.

Day 6
Come to my end of my trip .Good bye Ximending and thank you for once a life time solo experienced trip.
Overall my experience was so far so good but also tense because you were alone all the time , and no one will protect you if things happened to you.
Pro - Freedom you can move freely on time on target
Con - You need to keep a lookout on the items you put behind when you order thing
- To ask a stranger to help you take photo
