Today, we got to RDU airport at the bright and early hour of 4 am and took a plane to Chicago, Illinois. After a brief layover, we got on a five hour flight to San Francisco, California.
After a quick lunch at the San Francisco airport, we got on another flight and we finally arrived at Taipei airport after a 13 hour flight. On the plane, we were given two different meals and had the choice of curry chicken or a vegetable stir fry for dinner and waffles or eggs for breakfast.
After meeting our awesome tour guides at Taipei International Airport, we took a bus to an authentic Dim Sum restaurant called Lucky Star. Exhausted and hungry we enjoyed a delicious meal that hit the spot. We devoured pork bao’s, stir fry noodles, beef noodles, sesame balls, sticky rice, turnip cakes, shrimp dumplings, coconut desserts, beef short ribs, and red bean soup.
After our meal, we took the bus to our first hotel and checked in at the Green World Zhonghua hotel. Finally, we went to bed full and excited for the next day.
