Tuesday, April 29th, 2025 World Tour Day 178 Fenqihu We had little rest in Taipei, which was our own fault for wanting to see as much as we could. That trend continued into our next day which was our tea farm area day. We took the 6:30am high speed train to Chiayi.

Monday, April 21st, 2025 – Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025 World Tour Days 170 – 171 After our time in Moalboal came to an end we got a taxi to the east side of the island.

We saved some money, though, by eating a lot of $1 burgers and 7-Eleven, which were our two food options nearby our lodging. The hotel…
