Best Trip Ever; Taipei/Osaka/Kyoto

Where jeannette attempts at creating an instantly popular video documenting her trip to Taipei, Osaka, and Kyoto during the December holidays.


Travelling with the family is always the best, and travelling with the extended family is even better. It was quite difficult making and filming this video mostly because we forgot about it for extended periods of time during the trip! So most areas featured were all visited in the span of around 3 days where we remembered and thus spam video-ed everywhere we went.

The process was undoubtedly memorable, as the three of us shameless tourists (and a brother) went to iconic destinations and made a fool of ourselves... All for the sake of becoming internet famous! At first we wanted to dance to "the Fox", but it was waaay too difficult for us amateurs, so of course we had to do a One Direction song (:

Some of the attractions shown include: Taipei's Chiang Kai Shek memorial hall, Universal Studios Osaka and the surrounding region a.k.a. the aquarium and the boat charter, Kyoto Station, Fushimi Inari, etc...

It was quite time-consuming editing the video, because too often our timing was completely off the beat of the song and such, and working on a limited amount of footage meant i had to find weird ways of filling space (e.g. the part with the animals "dancing" HAHA hope you got that). In the end i got quite lazy, and for some reason when converting the video to mov. format, the ending got quite screwed up, and some portions of the video has the "slo-mo" sound effect and the like, but let's just overlook all of that.

///Maybe I'll do a photo blog on the highlights of the trip because though the trip had its highs and lows, we did end up with some amazing photos////
