Taiwan
The deposit is paid. I can't change my mind :D
Any tips or suggestions? (I've never travelled around an Asian country before)
Or anyone there want to meet up for a beer between April 24th and May 2nd?

About Me
- Name: Jo
- Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
British female who wishes she wasn't moving further and further away from 35. After nearly six years in an alternative universe (ie Tokyo) the real world started screaming at me to come back. And so I ended up in a surreal world in Libya, Qatar and finally now in the Emirates. For now. I drink lots of coffee, teach English and travel when I can... Join me.

Taipei -
Things to see and do:
1. Palace Museum. The only thing I'd put on a must-do list in Taipei (well this and night markets). Be careful of the taxis outside - they will rip you off (not try - they will). But it's all the things from the Forbidden City that the nationalists took when they left China. Amazing.
2. Night Markets - probably the best aspect of life in Taipei. Street food, noise, everything. My favorite one is Shilin - snake alley is way too touristy.
3. Chaing Kai-Shek Memorial Tomb - blah blah blah. it's kind of imposing looking, but I think if you have better things to do, you have better things to do.
4. Ximending - shopping district - the only problem is it's heavily Japanese influenced and you live in Japan
5. Chunghsiao East Road, Sec. 2 - my favorite street in Taipei. Shops, things to see and look at.
Bars & Clubs -
1. Carnegies - Western (not as in cowboys and belt buckles but as in English/American/Australian) bar where patrons and waitresses dance on the bar.
2. Room 18 - local club located in Warner Village. My favorite club - full of overpriced drinks, chinese-americans and way too small.
3. Vacuum space - see room 18
