arriving in Taichung


After 36 hours flighting + 2 hours travelling by bus, I finally arrived in the city I am going to stay this year: Taichung.
Taichung is located in west-central Taiwan and is the third largest city in the island, after Taipei and Kaohsiung, having a population of just over 2.6 million people.



Here are some pictures of Taichung to show you a little bit about my city.

On the way to Taiwan...

Summarizing my trip: 27 hours in the airplane + 9 hours waiting in the airport = 36 hours with no shower and bad sleep.
I traveled by Korean airlines, so I stopped in Los Angeles and in Korea.
Since I have aerophobia, I had to take a "holy" medicine to help me sleeping on the flight.
But after so many tiring hours, if there's one thing I can say for sure is: it worth it!
