Photographic Journey [Episode 1]

In this post, I included pictures taken during the very first few days of my trip to Taiwan.

For those who want to know more about Taiwan, I refer you to here.

Locations: Vancouver International Airport/Grandparent's House (Taipei)/Danshui

[Wikipedia] Danshui is a sea-side town in Taipei County, Taiwan. It is named after a river whose name means "Freshwater". The town is also popular as a site for viewing the sun setting into the Taiwan Strait. There are three universities in this small town (population 130 105): Aletheia University, Tamkang University, and St. John's University.
