The Yes Explosion Site Tour that I signed up for on the second day in Taiwan~ It was so much better than I expected~ The wind and rain made it difficult all day, but thanks to Ittageo (guide Lee Young-gi), I was able to enjoy the tour comfortably~ Even though he must have been tired, he shared his extensive knowledge of Taiwanese history throughout the tour, and it was great that we were able to move ahead of any other group with an efficient tour schedule~^^ You need to meet a good guide for more than 80% of the tour, so I think I was lucky~ :)
