August in Taiwan, with a typhoon approaching.

This was my first ever trip abroad.

From Haneda Airport to Taipei Songshan Airport.

Walking through the streets of Taipei, eating at night markets, and experiencing the atmosphere of a foreign country for the first time.

I was sometimes confused by unfamiliar transportation and encountered a sudden power outage.

Things didn't always go according to plan, but that's all part of the journey.

Instead of rushing through tourist spots,
I traveled in a way that allowed me to capture the atmosphere of each city and the feelings I experienced there.

This is the first part, focusing on Taipei.

In the second part, I'll take a local train to Shifen.

And then, I'll be on a speeding bus heading to Jiufen.

So, let the Taiwanese journey begin.
