{"id":17,"count":9,"description":"\r\nUp until now, my travels had always followed a circular pattern, meaning that I had a central base from which every journey began and to which every journey returned. However, my trip to Taiwan marked a departure from this routine. Although I left some unfinished business in Hong Kong, I didn't plan to return immediately, but I also didn't rule out the possibility.\r\n\r\nI obtained a one-month stay permit for Taiwan and was required to have a return ticket. So, I booked a flight back to Hong Kong for 28 days after my arrival.\r\n\r\nMy time in Asia granted me an unprecedented level of independence. I was no longer constrained by schedules or itineraries; I could simply head to the airport, board a plane, and vanish into the unknown. This newfound freedom was facilitated by financial autonomy, emotional detachment, and the practical opportunities afforded by my location.","link":"http:\/\/www.evansjourney.net\/journey\/category\/asia\/","name":"Asia","slug":"asia","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.evansjourney.net\/journey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/17","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.evansjourney.net\/journey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.evansjourney.net\/journey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.evansjourney.net\/journey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=17"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
