OK!~ Now here we go.
With the advice from a great Hive community friend 
My German friend "Mario" and I have finally decided to plan and leave on December 3rd and now beginning a brand new trip to go around Taiwan without knowing where the hell we are heading. We decided to just use a physical map and compass as much as possible without using too much technology unless we got lost. hahahaha!~ Sometimes the old ways of doing things are more fun and nostalgic.
Practically we are bringing as little as we can for maximum convenience and also it will save our backs since we will be sitting and riding on the scooter for days.
This was the picture my wife took of us at the moment we started the journey. Lets go super Mario!~~~~~~~
I heard from so many people when they do a scooter ride a circle around Taiwan in the end their butts hurt as they arrive back home. To insure this wont happen to us I went to a supermarket to buy an accessory for the scooter seat to add extra cushion and better grip for both comfort and safety.
To be honest we had no idea which road we needed to go bit we did know we needed to head out south west bound. We started a bit late at around 2:30pm due to the last minute work I had to finish. We ended up at a dead end near this temple and just took a break to rethink our strategy to get to our destination TaiChung (3rd largest city in Taiwan?).
We decided to just use google maps for today because we didnt want to ride at night due to safety. However being the dumb monkey we both are what supposed to take about 3 hours of riding ended up being 5 hours and we arrived at our hostel arround 7:30pm. I haven't took any photos of the ride because we needed to rush before it got way too late.
The hostel was such a nice and clean place. This is my first time ever sleeping a night at a hostel. Most of my travels with my family we used hotels and resorts and the only time I learned the word "Hostel" was from the horror movie Hostel. lolz~~~ To be very honest I was a little scared it would be like that situation. I am so glad that its not. Its so nice and many foreigners just like us were there. :)
This is a nice little hostel called "Backpack 41 Youth Hostel - Taichung"
This image is literally the moment I opened the door and one person looks at me and says "Welcome to Taiwan!!" Hahahahahaha. It was so delightful. :)
This is the public shower rooms~ so clean.
Looks nothing like the horror movie "hostel" Thank God....
It seems everyone here knows how to responsibly use and clean up after washing or using the toiletries. I realize we still have hope in humanity. Oh boy I was living in such s shit hole bubble with too much bad media and speculation.
My little sleeping bed~
Ahhhhhhhhh.... time for a good sleep.
My helmet and gloves need some sleep too. :)
Our planned trip around Taiwan!!! This map basically points out where we will be roughly stopping by. We started from Hshinchu and now we are in TaiChung.
Stay tuned for more up to date feeds of our journey around Taiwan everyday from now~~~ and as always thank you so much everyone for reading my blog.
