Had some cold and uncooked dim sum from a roadside stall. Felt sick for a few days and avoided roadside stall foods like the plague now.

Hotel staff is very helpful in arranging local tours. English in not generally spoken and poses a problem. North shore area and the National Park are worth visiting. I recommend the hot springs bath. Very enjoyable.
The distance between the airport and downtown Taipei is quite long and the taxis cost nearly fifty dollars. The best alternative is to take the AirBus from the airport to the train station in downtown and take a taxi from there to hotel. This works very economical - less than ten dollars.

My best experience was a relaxing time at a water-side cafe in Tamsui. If you walk from Tamsui station, go along the water-side path passing by busy shopping streets, and at the very end of the path there are 3 cozy cafes. You can feel the breeze from brackish water under the shade in a tranquil and peaceful air.
40 min. from the city center to Tamsui by MRT.

Don't miss the Palace Museum - absolutely fantastic. You need to show taxi drivers destinations in Chinese. The hotel staff are very obliging in this respect.

Great place for shopping and food. Many shopping areas and night markets to visit. Most convenient means of transport is the MRT.

Taipei is not a very big city and it is a relatively easy city to travel around. Public transport is also developed. But if you do not speak Chinese, it will still be a challenge in getting around.

I was on business so I didn't tour or go to any special restaurants. I did benefit from visiting the NOVA computer shopping center next to the Mitsukoshi Dept. Store across from Taipei Station. It's about a 20 minute walk from the hotel or a minimum fare taxi ride.
I speak Chinese Mandarin so that was a big help in getting around. For non-Chinese speakers I must agree that Taipei is not as tourist-ready as other cities.
