I usually go to 7-11 to buy things every day. It is very convenient to buy commodity cards on the Klook platform. There are discounts for swiping the card. It is convenient to use and there are so many stores! ! !

It’s cheaper to buy high-speed rail tickets at klook. There are discount coupons from cooperative stores, and you can also match them with your itinerary. The Kaohsiung Fun Card this time is attached, the CP value is high, I recommend it~

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~ :)
