Day 11 — Taipei, Taiwan

 6/10/2024 Monday

Itinerary:

  • Taipei 101
  • Grandpa’s home 
  • Dermatologist 

After breakfast at the hotel, we took the metro to Taipei 101. We shopped around the malls there and later ate at the food court in Taipei 101. 

Later, we went to visit Anthony’s grandfather and Mason got bitten by mosquitoes again. The mosquitoes bite from last night became very swollen on Mason’s arm, so we decided to take him to see the dermatologist. Since we don’t have any insurance in Taiwan, we had to pay extra but it was so cheap and only cost less than $20 (TWD 600) for the doctor’s visit and medicine. We didn’t wait too long to see the doctor and talked to the doctor for less than 5 minutes. He told us that it’s because Mason is new to the country and got an allergic reaction from the bite as it’s bitten by a bug that he has not been bitten before. So he prescribed a cream and oral medicine for Mason to take and come back to see him in 3 days. We got the prescription and went next door to collect the medicine and no extra charge for the medicine. It’s so much cheaper than USA.
