I’m super ecstatic that Pride in Taipei occurred during my stay here! I’ve been to Pride in Atlanta and in Chicago and now I get to see Pride internationally — Woot! When I found out about the Pride Parade here, I envisioned floats and floats of hot and scandalously dressed Asian boys throwing free goodies at me. Continue reading “Taiwan Pride 2014”
Thirsty Thursday at Bar Alchemy
Oh that first sip of alcohol burns so good — no, I’m not an alcoholic. I just appreciate well-mixed cocktails from creative mixologists. Continue reading “Thirsty Thursday at Bar Alchemy”
Visit Beitou for a Hot Spring Time With Your Boo or Friends!
For those who don’t know me well, I have a small case of OCD. I already don’t like taking baths — I’m a shower girl, so getting in a hot pool filled with half naked strangers is something I always dread, especially not knowing where their bodies have been prior. However, I can’t use YOLO as my anthem if I can’t bypass my OCD-ness. Continue reading “Visit Beitou for a Hot Spring Time With Your Boo or Friends!”

Come Hither Sea Life, I Won’t Bite
There are two places I don’t want to die in: in space and in the ocean, but who cares about my fears?! I’m going scuba diving!!! One of my biggest fears is death by water aka drowning. I know it’s kind of ironic because currently, I’m doing all of these water activities and actually was a competitive swimmer in high school. However, you can’t have YOLO as your anthem if you can’t face your fears every now and then!!! So cheers to adrenaline!
Surf n’ Turf
Talk about a bargain! You know it’s in my Asian genes to always get more and always, always pay less. Don’t judge! You know it’s a good day when that happens. Continue reading “Surf n’ Turf”
Snorkeling with Friends
Lady with a baby in the water: “How far out are the reefs?”
Me: “It’s like 2 feet away, really close.”
Lady: “No really, how close is it?”
Me: “Look lady, if you want your infant to get cut up by the reefs then take 2 more steps out.” –Ok, I didn’t say this part, but I should have… Continue reading “Snorkeling with Friends”
On the Cusp of Dying
Disclaimer: I did not finish this hike, because I had too many brushes with death on the way up. YOLO does not apply here. Continue reading “On the Cusp of Dying”
Yak’ing the Kayak
Let it burn! If burning is not something you love to do while on the beach, then please put sunscreen on – ESPECIALLY on your shins! I suffered greatly. I now have two red hot dogs for legs.
