Now let’s go back and confirm one thing. If you fly Peach Airlines, you better know how to pack correctly. I was misinformed about a lot of things leading up to the previous trip so I made sure to get answers this time. Surfboard bags can only have 2 surfboards in, it has to be under 20 kilograms, and the length CANNOT exceed 220 cm. Basically, your board bag has to be 7’2 MAXIMUM length!
And if your board bag is 7’6 like Kimura-san’s, you better think smart. Bring packing tape and make your board bag back into a 7’2. Thank goodness we brought packing tape!
Once you arrive in Taiwan safely with your surfboards, you can take a deep breath, stretch out, and celebrate!
Hit the nearest local market and start trying everything you see.
Don’t ask what you’re eating because nobody speaks English at these local markets. Just try it.
And remember never to waste. Taiwanese eat every single animal part so you better too.
There is no ice at the local markets so the pork will be warm, have some flies on it, and pretty stinky. But once it’s steamed in a dumpling, it’s all good!
As we drove down the coast, you could clearly still see the damage from the big earthquake that happened earlier this year. To be honest, I was scared taking this drive because it was pretty dangerous. You could see the landslides everywhere you looked. Loose rocks hanging high along the cliffs of the mountains, and loose rocks all over the roads. Scary!
