SSAB - May 29, 2026

Well, you’ll either love the way I travel… or hate it.

One more night in Taipei, I promise! Why??

Went to Taipei 101… wasn’t going to go up the tower but… gotta get the content done. And met an apparently famous Singaporean YouTuber.

Live streams done, walking down Taipei, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial.

And, Steve, given all this hubbub, do you have a philosophy of travel?
