I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo

amateur traveler episode 690. Today the amateur traveler talks about

temples, a tower and street food, a painted village, a cat village, and

salt fields as we go to Tainan Taiwan.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about

Taiwan. I'd like to welcome the show Katie Liang who has come to us from Vancouver, British Columbia

but come to talk to us about Ty Nan in the country of Taiwan.

Katie is from photospired.com. She is a blogger there and we'll put a link to that in the

show notes and now Katie welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me.

So what's your connection first with Taiwan?

So I was actually born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, which is the capital city of Taiwan.

I moved to Canada when I was 11 years old and I've been back and forth in between the two. I actually lived in

Taiwan for four years after graduating from university and I just recently moved

back to Vancouver, Canada, but I will go back to Taiwan again in the next few

months or so.

You have two homes, is really what you're telling us.

Yeah, essentially.

I like to Canada, sort of home because my family is here and my cat is here.

I think spiritually I really, really miss Taiwan and I think that's where I really feel at home.

Excellent. Well, and why should someone go to this part of Taiwan?
