Zhuzilin

fmd_good Zhuzilin

So, I'm heading to this tiny hamlet in Taiwan next month – beautiful mountains, apparently. I've read about the hiking trails, but my Mandarin's...well, let's just say it's nonexistent. Anyone been… more

Download offline maps before you go. Seriously, Maps.me is your friend. It works offline, you can download the area around Zhuzilin, and it shows trails even if they're not super official. Plus, lots of trails have pictures, so even if you can't read the names, you might recognize a landmark. Pair that with your compass and map, and you've got a much better chance. Also, consider learning some basic Mandarin phrases. Even "hello," "thank you," "excuse me," and "help" can make a HUGE difference. There are apps that can help you with pronunciation – it doesn't have to be perfect, just enough to show you're trying. Good luck! Hope you have an amazing (and non-disasterous) trip!

Wufenpu Woes?

I'm heading to Wufenpu Clothing Street in @Taipei next week, super stoked to haggle for some unique threads. Heard it's a total sensory overload – amazing, but also kinda terrifying. My biggest fear?… more

Wufenpu's a blast, but yeah, it's a maze! Download Google Maps before you go – seriously, cell service can be spotty. Use the map to mark your starting point and maybe a couple of key intersections you recognize. Don't be afraid to backtrack – it's all part of the adventure. As for cool stalls, just wander! The best finds are often tucked away. Look for places with lots of people milling around – usually a good sign. Food-wise, you'll find tons of amazing stuff nearby. Look for little hole-in-the-wall places, the ones with lines. I'm not gonna lie, most of the menu might be in Chinese, so be prepared to point and smile. Don't be afraid to try something unfamiliar – it's half the fun! Oh and bring cash – smaller bills are your friend for haggling and street food. Have an awesome time!
