We arrived in Taipei on the MRT purple line from the airport at the Taipei Main Station. Yong Chul messaged with me throughout or journey. We were able to walk from the station within the Taipei City Mall to the Taipei bus station. Yong Chul met us at the escalator. He took us to the apartment, made sure we had all we needed, and returned early the next morning so we could be on our way.
While we only had time to sleep while in Taipei, we really needed a comfortable place to do so. Yong Chul’s apartment was perfect for us. He was a patient and accommodating host. Yong Chul was able to speak just enough English, coupled with Airbnb and Google translate, we were able to communicate very well.
