    I was in Taipei at the end of April. I thought I was going to die on those stairs! Every time I looked there were more stairs. We didn’t go all the way up. Our tour guide took us to lunch and the to an another restaurant for a tea ceremony. The views were beautiful.

    Oh my goodness this was such a fun video for me to see. I was in Taipei with my husband when the 101 wasn’t completely done. My husband was Nation Commander of AMVETS at that time and we were there as guest. We were taken to the very top 101 floor!!! We were told that after completion that the public wouldn’t be able to go to the 101st floor, that it would be private then. It was so fun to go on the elevater that was so fast! We had to get off on one of the 80th floors and take a different elevator to continue to 101. I have a picture of us wearing hard hats 😂. Thank you so much this brought back so many good memories. I’m happy to see you enjoying your journey❣️

    to watch
    and all the shops
    at the gold town
    very sorry that the tour guide should have asked, does any one have to get local money out first and tell you where you can do that
    taking people up 800steps to a village with many food shops and many other shops without money, very sad that happened to you
    glad you found a place near your ship later in the day and found some yummy local food to enjoy

    I picked this video of yours as being the most recent video of yours in the hope that I can get an answer back from you. I will be boarding the Serenade of the Seas on August 10, 2024 in Copenhagen to departing Amsterdam on the 19th of August. I noticed that when the ship leaves Copenhagen it will be going back to the Miami, Florida. Is this part of your World Cruise? If so, do you tend to go to the Diamond Club for the evening appetizers, maybe I will run into you there. It will be unusual for me to be going on a single cruise as opposed to my usual back-to-back trips. I don't envy you folks when it comes time to pack up to go home. I collect magnets on my trips and meeting the luggage weight limits is a big challenge for me. FYI - the 7-11store just across the street from the ship did take US currency when I was there in February this year; I walked that same block you did and I too found that they only wanted local currency. I went on a RCCL trip from Copenhagen to Iceland and Greenland on a ship returning to Boston in September 2022 so the Amsterdam to Miami trip this September didn't interest me. I did a lot of stressing over trying to find the head net for Qaqortoq, Greenland and finally gave up but when we got to Qaqortoq, the Shore Excursion crew gave out the head nets for their passengers and I was able to buy the net at the hardware store next to the main gift shop where the tender boats dock for just a dollar or two as opposed to $15 on line.

    • @livingphase2
      @livingphase2  Před měsícem +1

      Yes, the cruise he will be taking is part of the world cruise. So happy to have you joining us. We go to the diamond lounge occasionally for happy hour. Was so many on board. They have opened it up into the vortex in the evenings. we rotate our happy hours around the ship to the different locations, Schooner bar, vintages, R bar. Please be sure to stop us and say hello as we would love to meet you. And if you see us in the Windjammer for breakfast or lunch, sit down and have a meal with us. See you soon!
