30/Nov ~ 8/Dec Taiwan Trip Report

yes, the whole trip is eat and eat until wife claimed that put on 2Kgs after the trip.

I had selected the hotel all nearby Train Station, easy to access. Before this from the forum people recommend the Takatama Hotel but nobody give the review, this time I make this review and hope other people can understand this hotel if going to Tainan. I like Tainan as it not like a big city and people there is very friendly.
