Volume 30Gary, hello from Taiwan. Have you ever gone to Taiwan before?
Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
HC Gamers asks on the Discord server, Gary, hello from Taiwan. Have you ever gone to Taiwan before? If so, what places do you like?
Yes, I have been to Taiwan….twice in fact. I was there in 1999 on one of my first visits outside of North America. I returned there near the start of my full-time travels in 2007.
During that eight-year period of time, Taipei changed dramatically. I can only imagine how much it has changed since I was last there.
I didn’t really get far beyond Taipei in either of my visits. The one place I would recommend people visit is the National Palace Museum.
What many people don’t know is that many of the greatest works of art from Chinese culture reside in Taiwan, not mainland China. They were taken to Taiwan after the Chinese civil war and still remain there today.
I’d like to go back at some point to see how much Taipei has changed and to see the rest of the island.
