Tara Redfield and GiGi Dubois

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS….

You THOUGHT I was going to say Carmen Sandiego now, didn’t you?

But no… I was going to say: is are GiGi and Tara (The Food Pervert)…

.@thefoodpervert & I have some HUGE NEWS to tell you!!!! #Watch! #Blogging #Travel #Adventure

A video posted by Geneviève (GiGi) (@gigieats) on

WE ARE ON OUR WAY (or maybe by the time you read this… IN) TO TAIWAN!!

The Taiwan Tourism Bureau invited Pervy and myself (along with blogger Lynn Chen of The Actor’s Diet) on a CULINARY TOUR of the COUNTRY and we will be EATING OUR WAY THROUGH IT until July 21st!

So if you’re reading this on July 15th… Tara and I will be taking mass amounts of sleeping pills and having in depth drugged-up political debates on our 13 hour plane ride to Taipei

If you’re scanning this blog post on July 17th… Tara and I may be wolfing down Shaoshing Wine Marinated Chicken, Longfeng Legs and Sweet Potato Vines… Or… Scouring the night markets for fake Rolexes.

Visiting the blog on July 18th? Well then Tara and I may very well be helping the local Taiwanese plant vanilla, taro, yams and mushrooms… Or… I may be watching Tara get SLOSHED at the King Car Kavalan Whisky Distillery

If it’s the 19th… You may be reading this at the EXACT MOMENT that Tara and I are hiking the Changchun Temple Trail… Or… Taking a stroll along the Tropic of Cancer… Or even… TWERKING to the music played in the Tie Hua music villages!

Looking over this post on the 20th? Tara and I could possibly be biking along Sunset Bay… Sloshing through the wetlands of Qifong… Exploring the old town of Hencheng… Or… Stuffing ourselves silly with bluefin tuna, pork rice cakes (yeah, that would be Tara) and loads of OYSTERS!

And if you’re (sadly) reading this blog on the 21st… Tara and I will be slightly heartbroken that it’s out last day in Taiwan… But our final day will be filled with… “high-fiving” Mazu/Matsu, the Chinese Patron Goddess at the Grand Matsu Temple… Getting sprinkled with salt at the Jingzaijio Tile-paved Salt Fields… And to cap off an awesome itinerary… Receiving Taiwanese FOOT MASSAGES… All before boarding our flight back to Los Angeles!
