Yeah, I've been living in Taiwan for a while now. I assume your going to Taipei, Tai-chung or Koushuing like most people do. I rarely make it to those bigger cities.
If you got any questions I can help you with, let me know. I'm not a local, just a furriener teachin engrish and enjoying the fine woman and tea.
It's a decent place, and thousands of times better than China. Nobody fucks with ya, the police are only for show, and the food is cheap and tastey. If you have a decent amount of patience and tolerance you'll like it here.
