The downside of Tainan is the intense heat and high humidity. You don't just sweat when you go out; your skin gets oily too. It's only pleasant during autumn evenings and winter.

Travelled with a friend. Pretty sure this trip killed our friendship.A loosely organized trip calls for a loosely-held approach. Friends who become 'loose' will gradually drift away. Time passes, and even the best memories can't change a person's altered heart and nature. Birds of a feather flock together; if it doesn't feel right, it's best to fade out of each other's lives.

Taiwan, Oh, You Absolute Dream!I was fortunate enough to visit a few years ago, and it was such a pleasant surprise and quite astounding.
