Hi everyone!

So in today's blog I'll be sharing about my short trip to Taiwan with my family last 5th of March until 9th of March 2018.

Many times my sister said : everyone went to Taiwan for more than a week but you guys just went there only for 4-5 days ... so short.

But what to do cause we actually went there not for like travelling but more for my eldest sister's wedding photoshoot.
