Creator's Key Takeaways

It's getting exciting, but this is it's there's been so much to do. So much to do.

I'm quite chilled about it. I'm quite happy about it all.

We will just get a taxi. So we'll probably go somewhere, maybe get a nice afternoon tea or something somewhere.

We've prepaid our daily service charges as well before we've gone. I did that earlier in the week because it it actually worked out slightly better.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get an international driving permit for Japan if you plan to drive or ride trikes.
Prepay daily service charges on the cruise to save money and avoid onboard hassles.
Weigh your luggage carefully, especially hand luggage, to stay within airline limits.
Consider taking a taxi from Keelung to the airport for convenience, even if it costs more.
