Re: (life) taiwan

Regarding Taiwan:

Due to a bicycle craze, Taiwan has been developing bike paths and routes all
over the island.  Biking here is a real pleasure.  I recommend seeing the
Taiwanese film "Island Etude" (2007).  It's a tribute to Taiwan's beauty
from the perspective a biker who travels around the circumference of the
island.

Food the same?  I wouldn't eat food in China due to poor quality.  Taiwan
cuisine is superb and at times unique because of the rich variety of
seafood.

Hotels more expensive?  Depends where you stay, I suppose.  Hostels can be
found for around NT$400, and budget hotels can cost around NT$1000 a night.

Weather is hot now because it's summer. Weather is markedly different in the
north and south, west and east, mountains and shores.  Rainstorms are
possible. Very low risk of typhoons.

Page One and Eslite bookstores carry contemporary and classic books in
English.

Major hotels, supermarkets, train and metro stations, department stores, gas
stations, and large restaurants all accept credit cards.
