As my birthday trip this year 2018, we went to Taipei, Taiwan for a short visit. Taiwan, officially known as Republic of China is in northern part of the Philippines and the west of Hong Kong and Japan. Taiwan is known for it's blend of business, study, tourism, medical treatments among others. Taiwan is visa-free for Philippine passport-holder like me. It started just 2017 to boost their tourism and to match to other neighboring countries like Hong Kong.
