First day updates!

Written on January 4th, 2023 by Pearl Ryder

First day updates: they sell sweet potatoes in 7-eleven, we made it to the botanical garden, Taiwanese grandma fashion is on point, and jet lag got us for some super long naps. Finishing up dinner at a night market now and then back to the Airbnb for some sleep (hopefully).

Sweet potatoes in a convenience store!!

These really weren't very good.

The botanical garden was beautiful but we were so tired.

Not too tired to appreciate this incredible style, however.

For breakfast, I had a vegan shrimp platter with sesame dressing and Craig had french toast sticks with chocolate sauce.

Those epic jet lag naps. Somehow I didn't notice that our Airbnb on arrival didn't have a window -- just peel and stick wallpaper with pictures of the outdoors. Probably not so helpful for our internal clock adaptation.
