After four long years of COVID travel restrictions, I was finally able to visit Taiwan again this summer! My parents and I stayed for three weeks, and got to see aunts, uncles, grandparents, and old friends. I was especially excited to see my cousins, who came at the same time as us from California, whom I haven’t seen since 2018. Flying from our house on the US east coast to Los Angeles took five hours, and then we had to wait in the airport for eight more hours before boarding a 12-hour flight to Taiwan. Needless to say, the journey was unenjoyable. However, as I stepped foot out of the Taoyuan International Airport, the distinctive, humid air recalled fond memories of trips in years past.
