While one full moon occurs every month, some months get two. You get two full moons a month every two years and eight mo...

Check out this viral video and comment if it is real or CGI. The rat rubbed its hands over its body just like humans do. The shower scene lasted 30 seconds before it ran away. The video post chalked up 37 million views on Reddit. Source: Electronic DJ Jose Correa Music: Future Cha Cha by Kevin MacLeod News article: http://ift.tt/2GtYYXJ

https://youtu.be/VnGZe_KZGPM Another great place to eat in Taipei is Sunway Restaurant. Specializing in Sashimi, it’s an attraction for hungry tourists. Our hotel concierge was kind enough to print out the map. It was just a short 10-minute walk from NeiJiang Hotel. My favorite dish is cod liver. Never knew this dish existed. The second favorite dish is salmon belly. Tastes good! Watch the video to see the full menu and opening time. The Taiwan Travel Vlog continues…

https://youtu.be/Y1jFQAWGq1w Guaranteed to make your trip to Taiwan extra worthwhile. At least for me… Coz I am more a hands-on type of guy. It’s DIY activities instead of just shopping and sight seeing. I’ve seen this on TV, but now I am doing it here in Shifen. The attraction, in the northern part of Taiwan, is on a railway. That’s the fun part. We have to scramble when a train passes. Watch how the crowd react and run away from the track. By the way, we have to go on the tracks to release our lanterns. Be sure to note the vlog side tips if you haven’t been there. Do you prefer sightseeing, shopping, or activities when traveling?

https://youtu.be/Z2FbF-8ChkY 5 street foods you must try in XiMenDing at night. On a cold wet night, the buzzling night life continues. With giant flashing billboards, it’s like NY times square to me. We are here to taste some classic Taiwanese snacks. So this is a vlog of me just sharing my eats. My favorite among all is the Stinky Tofu. What’s your favorite Taiwan Street food?

Stop searching for the best travel camera! It is already in your pocket! I just completed an experiment that my counterparts think is insane. I ditched my DSLR/mirrorless, compact camera and even my iPhone. I vlogged my entire trip in Taiwan with nothing but an Android phone. No external mic, no external light and no stabilizer, just the phone. The only accessories I have is a mini tripod and a clip-on wide lens. There is also a selected video camera app and a video editing app. The experiment went well (not perfect though) with my S$300 phone.

Would you like to save time in editing and sorting out clips? Now, I want to share what I discovered in a short course. Overview In this course, I will go over the essential 4 P’s in travel vlogging.

https://youtu.be/0YrqKobDUZE This just might be the most colorful attraction in Taiwan. The houses were originally built for the retired Kuomintang soldiers. The temporary construction was destined to be torn down later. A resident soldier decided to save the village from demolition. He painted the walls and floors with cartoon characters and quotes. Today, Mr Huang still lives there and interacts with visitors. Watch the video to see my vlog on Rainbow Village. The Taiwan travel Vlog continues…
