Introduction
meet mr.bear.

Hoi! It's Mr. Bear, the most knowledable bear around town. As the founder of happybeartravels, I've helped many bears around the world secure a cozy place to stay at. With this new series, I thought I'd share my love for cuisine and help bears explore the area they now call home.

I'm kicking off this zine with a city I love: Taipei. I've slurped every bowl of beef noodle soup, munched on all types of scallion pancakes, and am always on the lookout for new boba stores (and believe me, there are always new ones popping up).

This is my part travel guide, part diary, and part love letter to the country that I personally call home. I hid some secrets inside — see if you can find them all!

Please enjoy, and I hope to travel there with you one day!⁠

MR.BEAR'S SECRET · UNLOCKED
Pestering me for some secrets? Fine. I'll admit something embarassing... My favorite boba store is Gong Cha
Mr.bear's rule #1
If there's a line, don't ask what for and just line up. It's a guaranteed treat.
favorite order
Bubble milk tea? No. Get brown sugar fresh milk. You can thank me later.
confession
Tried stinky tofu the other night. Now the smell won't leave my fur. I am not the clean bear I once was.
