What to do in Taiwan Jiufen Old Village and Northeast Coast Tour

It was cold, gloomy, and raining hard when we explored Jiufen Old Village and the Northeast Coast of Taiwan. But despite the unfavorable weather, we enjoyed our time exploring New Taipei City.

Joining a group tour that we booked online via Klook, we rode a private van and traveled from Taipei to New Taipei City. Passing through fishing villages and pastoral farmlands along the coastal hi-way, I was amazed when I saw the coastline along the hi-way. It reminds me of Batanes! The winding road, coastline, the huge waves, the cliffs and rock formations looks the same with Batanes. WOW!

DFA Passport Appointment Slots fro January to March 2018 are NOW AVAILABLE!

The lack of appointment slots for passport application or renewal has always been a problem in the past. It's so hard to get a slot at DFA's passport appointment system. What seems to be the problem? I have some friends from Manila who even flew to Puerto Princesa City, Palawan just to have their passports renewed because it's the only place where there are available slots. That's too much hassle right?

Worry no more! The Department of Foreign Affairs heard our appeal to open more slots so that more Filipinos could apply or renew their passports!

Then I just draft a rough itinerary in my mind. It's not very detailed, so there would always be some space for surprises, detours, and misadventures. Hahaha!
