Between April 19th and April 20th, we flew to Taipei, Taiwan in the Republic of China.
This was a new destination for both of us on The Travelers’ Century Club (TCC) list of 325 countries and territories. The TCC is a group of people who have visited 100 or more of the world’s countries and territories. Founded in California in 1954, the club now has regional chapters throughout the U.S. and several locations around the world.
Our visit to Taiwan brings out current TCC list count to 104 for Mrs. Jones and 102 for Mr. Jones. Since we both travel separately for work, there are some minor differences.
We have noted in BOLD those destinations that we have visited on the Travelers’ Century Club list of countries and territories as of January, 2016.
