Nightlife.

If I were to describe Taipei in a few words, I’d say it’s pretty much one giant mall/food court surrounded by amazingly beautiful hills. I’ve never seen so many places to shop and eat. (And I live in NYC!) Their night markets are world famous. People are packed like sardines in these shopping districts into the wee hours, even on work days. Every night my mom and I would shop, eat, shop, eat, shop, eat……….

Blogging Berlin!

I’d been itching to travel for months, so I finally decided to do something about it. Airfare has been dropping like crazy. I saw $170 round trip to Vegas and $320 to Paris, so I figured I’d just go wherever is cheap. Robin (roomie) came home one day and declared that she and Gayleem were taking an impromptu trip to Berlin, so I decided to join them. $440 RT to Germany?!Sure why not…

pin it!Knowing me, of course it’s fitting that I begin blogging with an excessive number of glamour shots of the apartment we stayed in. Found it on Craigslist Vacation Rentals! Only 20 Euros/night for each of us. The apartment was like a palace by NYC standards. A palace that smelled like fresh laundry all the time. I am still seething with house envy.

An charming little picnic basketesque breakfast nook in the kitchen?! My brain was practically exploding from the adorableness of it all.

Berlin Bike Gang

One of the first things we did was rent bikes and it turned out to be the perfect way to cover such a big city in 4.5 days. This trip reminded me of how much i enjoy biking. Definitely need more of that in my life.

pin it!Berlin is the flattest freakin’ city that I’ve ever been in. There are wide bike lanes everywhere, and pedestrians will actually get out of the way if you ring your little bike bell.

pin it!Robin got a flat tire but fortunately, we found a little bike shop run by a nice fellow, Ali, and his baby faced assistant, Serkan.
