My First Day in Taiwan: Where Bubble Tea Meets Ancient Temples.
Study abroad in Taiwan. Imagine landing in a place where you’re surrounded by towering buildings, the smell of sizzling scallion pancakes, and a language you only half-understand—but somehow, it just clicks. That was me, Emily, a college student on my first day in Taiwan. And let me tell you: this trip was way more than a vacation. It was a full-on culture dive.
I started in Taipei, which feels like someone threw together tradition and tech and made it work really well. I wandered through side streets filled with lanterns and fried chicken, and then—boom—Taipei 101. That skyscraper doesn’t just pierce the skyline, it kinda makes you stop mid-boba sip and stare.
What hit me the most wasn’t just the sights—it was the vibe. The energy. Mandarin floating through the air like background music. Local grandmas doing tai chi in parks. It was like stepping into someone’s story, but somehow, I felt like part of it.
With Justaiwantour helping out (seriously, they made everything smooth), I got to see more than just the city. Sun Moon Lake was ridiculously peaceful, like something out of a Studio Ghibli movie. And Tainan? Don’t even get me started—temples, night markets, old streets… it was like flipping pages in a history book, but way more fun and with better snacks.
This trip reminded me why we travel in the first place. Not just to take cool photos (though, yes, my Instagram is now thriving), but to experience something real. Something that makes you think, wow, there’s so much more out there. Taiwan gave me that.
And I’d go back in a heartbeat.
