Taiwan: From 'Meh' to 'Actually... Wow!'
-
Just the most famous one.
-
It looks like all your photos were taken on overcast days. Here's one of Sun Moon Lake to share. Wishing you and your family good health, and hope you'll visit again soon!

Is that the Sun Moon Lake we learned about in elementary school textbooks?
-
Yes, it is!

You think Taipei doesn't have good Taiwanese food? You should come to Tainan and see for yourself!
-
I went to Tainan but couldn't get used to the food at all. Ended up going back to Taipei quite disappointed.
-
I went from liking it to disliking it. After I started living there, I didn't like it anymore.
-
Same here, went from liking it to disliking it, even though I've never lived in Taiwan.
-
As a Taiwanese person, I never go to the touristy night markets. The more local, the better.

Night markets can really be a test for your stomach. A bunch of my elementary school classmates who came back from Europe or the US got upset stomachs the first time they ate there! The food can be too oily, too spicy, not clean, and so on. But after a few days, they usually get used to it and are fine. If you have a sensitive stomach, it's best to eat sparingly at night markets, especially deep-fried items (the oil isn't always changed frequently).

No, it was actual food poisoning, definitely due to unhygienic conditions. My daughter doesn't eat spicy food, and what she had wasn't oily either.
