I just completed my pre wedding photo shot (PWS) in Taiwan. As much as I do not want to jump into the bangwagon of taking my PWS overseas, I was unable to resist the package that was offered to us, and the thoughts of going to Taiwan for a vacation.
Here is the itinerary, and I'll further elaborate the activities in my subsequest posts, including the experience of taking the new Taipei Airport Express Train and Eva Air's Hello Kitty Plane.
