Taipei is Baltimore with funny signs. Kind of blue-collar concrete and brick with not a lot to do. Walking around isn't as interesting as Tokyo. Taxis are cheap but the drivers don't speak English, so have your destination written down in Kanji. Great massages cheap.

We went to just about every place that is in a traveller's book on Taipei!! From the National Museum to Shih-Lin Night Market. It was all very fun and interesting!! We were lucky to have a car and driver to get us around, so we were able to go all over the place.
The strangest and funniest thing that happened to us in Taipei was actually at the Internation Airport: When we arrived a couple of local children started to say hello. They were very happy and excited to speak to a foreigner. The next thing you know, about 20 - 25 little kids are all huddled around asking questions; "How tall are you?, What country do you come from?, Can I take a picture with you?" I guess we were there for about twenty minutes...it was a good chance for those little guys to practice their English and to get to know a "foreigner" a little, and it was a good chance for us to see how welcoming and friendly Taiwanese are.

Taipei is a bustling city and quite exciting. IN my walk around the city I felt safe at all times and people were friendly. A nice place to visit.

When I visited Taipei, the temperature went over 30/C. It's very hot and humid. It's better to avoid to visit Taipei in June.

The hotel is in between two stations, namely Taipei Main station and Zhongshan station, within walking distance for about 10 minutes. Around Zhongshan station has two major shopping complex, in fact an excellent place for those who are there for shopping and wanted somewhere central.

Try having lunch at the Italian restaurant in The Sherwood (The Toscana) and afternoon tea at Le Petit Sherwood. If you like Starbucks and all the imitations, there are plenty in Taipei.
