No typhoons in May, but you can expect sudden heavy rainstorms. It's also very humid and hot.

I just want to say, the article is spot on.

Freedom of belief isn't the same as superstition, and it's even further removed from being 'feudal.' In Taiwan, especially in northern cities, families generally don't pressure those in their 30s and 40s about marriage. Personal wishes regarding work, marriage, and having children are largely respected.

When I travel with my parents, the accommodation absolutely must have a window. Just finding that can be really tough, and it's usually not cheap. Food is generally less of a problem; you can often find group deals in most cities. For getting around, Didi (ride-hailing) is definitely my preferred choice. Speaking of taxis, the requirements for drivers have actually been lowered. Now, you just need a Beijing residence permit or ID to be a driver, unlike the old days when you had to have a Beijing hukou (household registration).

Hey everyone, be careful of scammers in the comments section!!!
