You know, a long time ago I said this about Wish To See You Again;

"This show is like "The top 10 places to visit in Taiwan"! I mean, they go to the huge ferris wheel mall (Miramar Entertainment Park...) all the time, the 101 is prominently featured in the show, they went to Alishan, Kaoshiung, Taroko gorge, the National Palace Museum, and now Sun Moon Lake. I'm surprised they haven't gone to Kenting, or one of the islands yet!"

And what do you know, I was right. WtSYA was sponsored by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau! I knew it! There were just too many random lingering shots of the scenery...

And, of course, I'm too late to take advantage of their travel package. *sigh*

Holy shit Taiwan, how much do I love you. They have tour routes that follow dramas/movies! Including one for Prince Turns to Frog!

In case you couldn't tell, I'm trying to find a tour package to Taiwan. I know I could just go, and figure things out. But I'm tired. And I want a tour, damn it.

If I ever manage to go on a trip to Asia I'd totally go with a tour group. Mostly because I wouldn't be able to make heads or tails of street signs, etc. Plus, you are sure to hit all the spots you want. You can always go back in the future and check out things on your own.

Yeah, that's what I think too. Like, I know a lot of Taiwanese speak english, but still. Highly intimidating.

I like that way of traveling, actually. Getting a general taste of the area. I did that when I backpacked europe; we took bus tours mostly. We didn't see everything, but now I know where I want to go back, and where I don't.

I was just talking about going to South Africa with a friend in 2 years for his 30th b-day. Now you've made my want to visit Taiwan too.

I don't think I'll be traveling anywhere out of country this year :( Japan was last year and Germany the year before.... I LOVE traveling!!

Find a travel tour! But make sure that tour will let you do things you want, like stop at the dive looking shack for some foods, probably better there anyway.

Oh, I'd love to go to South Africa! I have massive wanderlust, and want to go most places in the world. Back when I first got into Taiwan, I thought it was kinda ugly. I was wrong. It's gorgeous there (from what I can tell...), I want to go so badly!

Oh cool! I want to go to Japan... I try to visit Germany once a year (I speak German, it's the easiest forign place for me to go to), but missed last year. Stupid economy with it's weak dollar.

I'm trying! A lot of tours are private, which makes it difficult. But I'll keep looking :D

Stupid economy is right, I can't wait for things to get better so I can travel more.

Either that or I have to win the lottery.

As I was watching it was noting down places to visit- good on ya Taiwan Tourism Board!

Me too! They really DID showcase the island beautifully. I just knew there was something going on there though. Twdramas normally showcase Taipei, but actually visiting other cities? Almost never happens.
