Taipei here I come...again

Honestly, Taipei or Taiwan was never high on my list of MUST visit places. But as they always say NEVER SAY NEVER. An ex was living in Taipei once upon a time and so I actually visited Taiwan a couple of times. On a Harley inspired Taiwan made motorbike, we cruised the isle down the East Coast, Taichung, Tainan, Hualian, Kaoshiung, Kenting, Taroko Gorge etc etc. I have to concede that the country does have its charms. Although I have always stressed that it’s the cities away, way way away from Taipei that are worth a visit....my recent trip proved me wrong. Quaint, European style scenery is but an hour away….
