Hey, we're on a day trip from Taipei today.

Yeah, first up is this place called Jiufen.

I think that's how you say it. I actually have no idea.

I asked the lady in the tourist info; I think that's what she said.

Anyway, the train out of Taipei was totally heaving 'cause it's Chinese New Year today.

And now, we're waiting in a massive queue for the bus as well.

- Yeah, we⏤  - It's just coming; hopefully, we'll get on this one.

We're like ten metres into the street, already stopped for some food.

These are some shrimp balls; let's see what it's like.

Actually, this is our first food in Taiwan.

This tastes like something we used to have when we were kids.

I haven't even finished my squid, and I've just found some more food I want to eat.

King oyster mushrooms; come and look at these.

We've been here less than an hour, and we've stopped five times for food, and it's all been really, really, really good.

Well, if you've seen the movie "Spirited Away", this is actually the place that the director got all his inspiration from.

Yeah, it's a famous view, but, as you can see, today, not much of a view.

We've come a bit further down the tracks, and we got off at Shifen Old Street.

Everyone's releasing lanterns 'cause it's Chinese New Year and it's really beautiful.

They're all going off into the sky with all the new year messages and stuff.

I love railway lines, and this is just ideal for me.

We just headed further up the line to Pingxi Station, and we're sitting in this little cafe with an awesome view, right next to the railway tracks.

- There's pork...  - Coriander and sugar.

Enjoyed being up in the mountains, even though it was really foggy and we couldn't see anything.

Loved seeing the sky lanterns and just, generally, riding the trains, that was really cool.
