    Summer tires! And up to the mountain that is dangerous for you and others on the road 😮 In Norway you would have to pay a 300$ fine and in many cases lost your driver license or they cut your license plate - that means you no longer can drive the car! Super strict here for good reasons 🙈

    Hi Melissa and Matt. Are the Food and Drinks worth the price? The views are Amazing. To bad you can't put little scooters in your luggage and put them in your backpack for the day, just in case you need them at night when there is no transit. Keep having Fun on your Adventures.

    • @USofEh
      @USofEh Рік тому

      Hi Ed! Food and drinks were worth it, think we spent under $15 USD total? Fortunately the public transit in Taiwan is very good, so we didn’t need a scooter this time around! Thanks for watching!

    You never step back at all whenever there's something new to try!! Loads of interesting stuff!! The mochi-chocolate looks very tasty! The excitement for the sweet potato balls was visible 😂 So unlucky with the transports though.. And I can tell how crowdy and noisy it was, maybe making it even difficult to record.. Well done to Matt who prob had to raise his voice sometimes..! Ciao!! Gio

    So you guys did Maokong, Jiufen, Raohe night market and Elephant Mountain all in ONE day?! ONE DAY?! 😯😯😯😯 I know Taiwan is small and convenient enough that you can pack many activities in one day but this itinerary is too much! 😂

    • @USofEh
      @USofEh Рік тому

      We did, and definitely wouldn’t recommend cramming it into one day! We decided while we were at the top of the Maokong Gondola that we would try to make sunset at Jiufen, because it was too smoggy to enjoy around Taipei, but really wish we would have dedicated a full day to Jiufen! Especially because we spent ~2 hours to get there, and everything closed up about an hour and a half after we got there! 😂 But we were leaving to Sun Moon Lake the next day and didn’t want to leave it out - next time we’ll take it slower! Thanks for watching!

      Basically how we felt about our time there - very quick, wish we had a bit more time! Ha we’re still figuring out the editing balance, because we’re very behind at the moment with about 10 videos worth of footage. Lots of cool things coming up! Thanks for watching! Ciao! Matt & Mel
