A safe and clean city, where people are very nice and helpful, although the price of the hotel is very high but still a nice place to live. The public transport is very good and efficient, the food is nice and affordable. Foreigner not so easy to communicate with the local people due to lack of experience to speak with other langages.

Taipei is a place to have fun. Only the bus stops makes me confuse... I cant read chinese character. If i want to go to tianmu or other places by bus, I always take the wrong destination of the bus. Ex. I want to go to shilin, i took 310 bus but what happened was the bus is going to banciao. Hope this will make it useful....
