Very few taxi drivers appear to know where they are going. Taipei makes Sydney look impressive!

The food in Taiwan was terrible!
The tour we took South East Travel was great. The guide was very fluent and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the Day Tour.

The underground subway is only 4 or 5 blocks away, taxis are
not expensive, however always have your destination written in
chinese as most drivers do not read or speak english. If you enjoy
walking you can walk to several tourist attractions.

Taipai is a bid bustling city with a few sights worth seeing--sort of oldish, and not a high tech looking city. Pleasant people. For those you have been to Beijing, Taipai will seem not very impressive. The Modern Art Museum, however, is excellent, temple visiting rather minimal (although the Tao and Confucian temples are small pearls in a busy city). Worth 3 days max. "Special" buses from airport to the larger hotels (and areas of other smaller hotels) are the way to go since Taxis are expensive from the airport.
Another note-meals (even at street eat places) are high in Taipai by Asia standards--about 70-80% of Big City U.S. costs. Don't be surprised and chech prices FIRST. English can still be a problem in all but the larger restaurants and hotels but sometimes there IS a English menu, food pictures, other diners whose choices you can point to or a helpful English speaker nearby.
