The OP is really underselling food in Taiwan. One of my highlights of every Taiwan trip is the food, everything from small, specialty beef noodle restaurants and street food to more upscale restaurants. Ask around about the Wang Group family of restaurants, all of which are excellent and hold their employees to a high standard of exceptional service. Their flagship is the Wang Steak restaurant, which American steak fans may scoff at, but it's interesting to see a different take on beef. My personal favorite is Yuan Shao, a yakiniku restaurant that I try to visit every trip. They are fairly expensive by Taiwan standards, but tourists will find the prices reasonable. Here is by far the best blog on food in Taiwan (though it focuses more on Taipei) http://hungryintaipei.com/

Has Linsanity started to die down a little in Taiwan? I still see news reports of people crowding bars for 2 AM Knicks games on a weekday, but it doesn't seem like he's dominating the Taiwan news anymore.

There is a whole subculture involving shooting/filming show girls at these expos. Part of the appeal is getting practice using expensive camera equipment, but the girls are the main draw obviously. I have a lot of fond memories going to expos in Taiwan so I subscribe to a few of these guys. It's like a little community, many of these guys have coverage of the same events  This video always makes me laugh. So many cameras  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPaRR248cPs&t=2m20s

PaoFerro posted:I've only read the OP saying that Taiwan isn't a great place for a vacation but I thought I'd come grab some information off people if they can help! The OP also thinks food in Taiwan is awful, so he doesn't know what he's talking about. Come to think of it, that OP is really a big disservice. Here's a good starting guide to read up about vacationing in Taiwan http://wikitravel.org/en/Taiwan SnowWolf fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Apr 18, 2012 |

I'm going to Taiwan next month and my cousin has requested that I stuff into my suitcase as much Fruit by the Foot as I can carry (he got addicted during his visit to USA). Which makes me wonder... is there a lot of American candy sold in Taiwan? Because I might just go into the supermarket and buy one of everything to make a grab bag

He is apparently visiting Taiwan in a couple weeks. Hopefully there'll be some cool videos coming out of that trip. I'm sure the media would love to interview him if he's open to it
