When in Taiwan: 5 Things You Shouldn't Miss

September 30, 2019 0 Comments
Taiwan is slowly becoming one of the most popular destinations for Pinoys. It’s not surprising, to be honest, as the island is a modern powerhouse of a nation with an ideal geographical location. Taiwan also has a rich history and culture, which means you’ll enjoy hopping from temple to museum to park and back again.

 With Taiwan’s many, MANY attractions, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you’ve recently booked a Taiwan tour package and feel like you need a bit of help choosing what to do or where to go, don’t fret. Here’s a quick list of places and activities you shouldn’t miss when in Taiwan.

 Taipei 101

 Taipei 101 got its name from its 101 floors. It used to be the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2010 before it got dethroned by the Burj Khalifa. Nonetheless, this engineering marvel is still one of the world’s tallest freestanding structures. It also holds the record for the fastest high-speed pressurized elevator, which can reach speeds of up to 1,010 meters per minute. In addition, Taipei 101 also has the biggest mass damper. This huge steel ball, weighing a whopping 728 tons, sways in time with the building to resist movements caused by strong winds and earthquakes.

 Visiting Taipei 101 and its observatory on the 89th floor is among the top things to do in Taiwan, and it’s definitely worth the ear-popping elevator ride. It’s best to visit near the evening to catch the sunset and the twinkling lights of the city below. However, make sure to check the weather forecast before visiting, since cloudy skies can somewhat ruin the views.

 Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall

 Another must-visit in Taiwan is Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall. It’s the most notable historical landmark in Taiwan, built in 1980 as a tribute to the country’s founder, Chiang Kai Shek. The actual memorial hall is about 250 feet above-ground and features an octagonal blue roof. The design is a symbolism for the number 8, which is linked with abundance and good fortune. Meanwhile, the two sets of white stairs with 89 steps each lead visitors to the main entrance. The number represents Chiang’s age when he died. 

 One of the reasons tourists flock to Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall is to witness the ceremonial changing of the guard. The ceremony happens every hour, so it’s best to come early to get the best spot. Other points of interest in this iconic landmark are the library and museum on the ground level. These contain exhibits about the life of Chiang Kai Shek, as well as information about the history of Taiwan. Entrance is free, so that’s an added perk!

 Jiufen

Are you a fan of the animated movie Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki? If so, then Jiufen is a must-visit. Located in the northeast mountains of New Taipei City, Jiufen is full of artist stalls, shops, and authentic tea houses. One such tea house is the 100-year-old A-Mei Tea House, which is one of the biggest inspirations for the bathhouse featured in Spirited Away. The movie went on to win the Academy Award’s Best Animated Feature in 2003.

 Jiufen used to be a gold-mining village and it’s a wonder how everything is so well-preserved. Everywhere you look, you can see Japanese and Chinese elements that lend a truly unique vibe to the place. For those looking for unique pasalubong and souvenirs, Jiufen is the best place to look for little trinkets and random odds and ends.

 Authentic Milk Tea/Bubble Tea

 The milk tea craze has taken over the Philippines by storm in recent years. Everywhere you look, milk tea chains both local and international—and even some independent brands—are cropping up. But did you know that the Taiwanese have been enjoying this delicious drink since the 1980s?

 You can choose between a milk-based or a fruit-flavored bubble tea, but for the most authentic experience, the consistency should be slushy smooth and the pearls should be chewy tapioca balls. If you really want the real deal, go to the first and original milk tea shop in Taiwan. Its name is Chun Shui Tang and you can find this shop in Taichung.

 Yehliu Geopark

Yehliu Geopark is one of the most visited tourist spots in northeastern Taiwan. The unique formations were sculpted naturally after thousands of years of waves and sea winds carving out the softer portions of the rocks. The most iconic formation here is called Queen’s Head, which resembles Queen Elizabeth I. The formation is said to have taken 4,000 years to form, although it’s predicted to be broken in the coming years. This is due to the weathering rate of the formation’s “neck” of 0.2 to 0.5 centimeters per year. With this prediction, Yehliu Geopark has seen an increase in visitors in recent years.

 Aside from the Queen’s Head, some of the most popular formations in Yehliu include Sea Candles, Fairy Shoe, Elephant Rock, Kissing Rock, and Princess’ Head.

 The sheer number of interesting and beautiful spots in Taiwan means you can go back again and again without repeating the same experiences. Start with thesemust-visit spots and then explore the rest of the country on your succeeding trips. Happy travels!

Home is where people love to spend their time well and rest together with their family. No wonder that people want their home as perfect as it could be. A perfect home depends on how people want it to be. How will they clean it? How many decors? How many furniture? How many rooms and how spacious it is?

Sometimes, we fancy a home that we can't afford to have. But if you want to change the look, and increase the appeal of your home, you may start a home improvement project to make it feel like new. You don't need to spend a lot of time and money. You can do it yourself or ask someone to help you like your family to make the work easier.

1. Decluttering. Think of the things that you don't need anymore, no one uses it, remove the mess. It can help to save space for the new things that you really need.

2. General cleaning. When you finished removing all the mess, bring outside all the personal and important stuff and start cleaning the house. Use water, soap, and disinfectant to clean the whole house. Even the furniture, decors, curtains, bedsheets, carpet and appliances need to be cleaned. 
Don't forget about the outside, you may want a clean lawn or backyard. No fallen leaves littering your place. Don't worry there's best leaf vacuum that will not only leave your compound sparkling but also keeps you longing to use it.

3. Painting. Paint the whole house with a new color to make a new look, clean and fresh. Even the cabinets need a new color.
4. Changing. The things that need to be changed are faucet or showerhead, carpet, knobs, and handles. Even your furniture, decors, and appliances when overly use, over time it will be damaged and defective, so buy something you can afford and needed.

Best Vacations to Take in America

September 24, 2019 0 Comments


If you don't have a passport or just don't want to travel too far from home, there are lots of great options to consider for a vacation right in America, some of which even offer an exotic feel that might make you think you're worlds away.


Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska

Located in the interior of Alaska, America's 'Last Frontier,' Denali National Park and Preserve is home to Mount Denali, the highest peak on the continent soaring 20,310 feet into the sky. It's a great place for a wilderness vacation, providing opportunities for outdoor adventure among magnificent scenery as well as wildlife watching. As the habitats here are diverse, with forest in the lower elevations, tundra in the middle, rock, snow, and glaciers at the highest, there are many different animals that can be spotted here. You'll see caribou herds roaming through the park, Dall sheep climbing steep mountainsides, moose feeding on aquatic plants in lakes and swamps, while black and grizzling bears frequently roam through the meadows.


Honolulu, Hawaii


On the opposite end of the spectrum, Honolulu offers it all when it comes to beautiful beaches and attractions. Waikiki is its world-famous beach and the hub of Oahu, providing countless things to see and do, including surfing, sunbathing, shopping, dining and more. You can also delve into America's history by visiting Pearl Harbor. The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor is the No. 1 visitor attraction in the state. This is the very place where World War II began for America on December 7, 1941. You'll be standing over a gravesite where nearly 1,200 men lost their lives. With so much on offer in this city, you might even want to check out the Honolulu real estate for a second home or even a year-round residence.

San Francisco, California



If you're looking for city delights, San Francisco offers a wealth of attractions along with world-class eats and shopping. Take a stroll across the 1.7-mile span of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, hop on a ferry to tour Alcatraz, the formidable prison that once held the likes of Al Capone and George "Machine Gun" Kelly, and ride a trolley up and down the steep hills. There are beautiful beaches to enjoy like Baker Beach, a great place for views and photographs of the bridge, while Golden Gate Park is home to museums like the California Academy of Sciences, one of the world's largest and most impressive natural history museums.


The Outer Banks, North Carolina



This chain of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina is an ideal place to enjoy a budget-friendly beach vacation. It's a beachgoers paradise, with the opportunity to enjoy everything from surfing and kayaking to paddleboarding. Cape Hatteras National Seashore hosts the Atlantic coasts' tallest sand dune as well as one of the country's most famous lighthouses, while The Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is a popular attraction for families offering encounters with an albino sea turtle and playful otters. All that and you can rent a multi-bedroom vacation home for a week for less than you'd spend on most hotel rooms.
