Landing in Taipei brought back a flood of memories and introduced new adventures. From the scooter-laden streets to neon-lit churches and a serendipitous reunion in Japan years later, this trip was anything but ordinary.
From emergency preparedness to serene temple visits, our first time in Japan was as much about the delightful surprises of Fukuoka’s quiet streets and Hiroshima’s poignant history, as it was about culinary adventures from street-side ramen to exquisite sushi.
When our grand plan to train all the way to Beijing got derailed, Philipp and I found ourselves pivoting unexpectedly towards Korea. What seemed like a setback turned into a voyage of discoveries, from high-tech airports to the fiery tastes of Korean cuisine.
