How's your vacation in taipei so far?
Friend convinced me to join her in October because her family has a house there so we got free accomodation. I can barely speak mandarin so she'll basically be my translator the whole time  |

Don't forget to stock up on Hi-Chew. It's cheaper in Taiwan (compared to HK).

two years ago i went back for the first time in 7 years...a lot of things haven't changed in Taipei (other than the 101 really..), you'll be really happy to eat good cusine and see family again.

I was there for 3 weeks in September. Super hot and humid, should be a bit cooler now and in Nov and Dec. I was there two years ago, not too much has changed, aside from an extension on the MRT and a bit more development around Taipei 101. I didn't do too much clubbing, only went to Luxy and Barcode. Barcode had quite a bit more CBCs if you are looking into that scene. I miss the food already! I'll be back there again in December and I can't wait.

taiwan was great. as for clubs... what seems to be hot now is spark, primo, room18 ... i would recommend spark and room18... i went to luxy it was OK nothing amazing..
i really miss the food. everything is so ridiculously cheap ... i used this blog to find out where to eat (after you tried all the night market and traditional stuff) and she's pretty good at ranking stuff http://hungryintaipei.blogspot.com/
if you have money to spend suggest goign to 'higher' end restaurants with set menus you get so much more value than here in vancouver... $20-$30 for 4-6 course meal and its damn good.
if you want food court food i usually went to breeze food court on top of taipei main station... other than that most of the time i was eating at the nightmarket (there are so many..... shilin is a must go...)
if you have that time i would recommend going to Jiufen its like a 2 hour bus ride but that place is pretty awesome....
for shopping:::
if you are >20 go shop at zhongxiao dunhua area there's like several malls and small shops.. there's also a hella lot of good restaurants there.
if you want cheap clothes go take the MRT to Hoshanpi station and you will be at the Wufenpu clothing market.. you can buy stuff for dirt cheap, you have to bargain though.
oh. and if you are going for a while. you will miss pho like i did.

Landed yesterday and it's hot as fuck over here.
Stand in the sun for 2 minutes and I'm already sweating. God bless the man that created the fan.
ps. scootering is fucking awesome over here. such a shame that it's not as big in Vancouver as it is over here.
