Less than a week
I leave Taiwan in less than a week. I'm looking forward to some poolside barbeque and sangria. But I'll also miss Taiwan. I've been asked innumerable times what I think of the place. Here is my quick rundown:
Taiwan is hot. Taiwanese people are friendly. Taiwan has a lot of cockroaches. Life here is exceptionally convenient. There are some great things to eat in Taiwan. There are some heinously disgusting things to eat in Taiwan. Taipei is smoggy. Taiwan has a lot of funny smells. Some of those smells are good. Others are disturbingly rank. Taiwan has many beautiful spots worthy of visiting. Those spots are likely very hot and humid. Unless it is winter, in which case they are likely cool and rainy. I'd write more but I'm getting hungry. I'm going to go eat some good Taiwanese food.
