It happened when I just hit 20 years old. I was planning to visit Taiwan and Korea back to back. Before travelling, I have managed to make a friend that resides in Seoul, Korea. Sad thing is that we have a language barrier and hence I would use google translate to talk to her on kakao.
Fast forward to travelling, it was finally the day to do this solo adventure experience. Trying out every new thing possible while being out by myself in countries and cities that I have never been to before. I flew to Taipei, Taiwan first. On my second night, I went to a nightclub for the first time in my life. It had unlimited cocktails so you would know that people are constantly on the high. I asked a friend on what the dresscode to the clubs would be, he said to just dress smart casual and bring a bag. Oh boy, “bring a bag?”, I brought my backpack along and I pretty much stood out, carrying the backpack all the way from start to finish.
