Recently I was privileged enough to travel to San Francisco and Taiwan with one of my best friends. She was adopted from Taiwan as a baby, and has been back every few years to see her home country and keep in contact with her birth mother. Luckily enough she asked me to come along this time, and after a year of saving we made the trip! I had never been to Asia before, and truthfully didn't really know what to expect. It was more than incredible. The people were kind, there was so much color and beauty everywhere, and the food was delicious!! I hope to one day be able to go back, but for now here are a few (out of 898) pictures so that you all can share this wonderful experience with me.
