First, let me say, from my experience, that the Taiwanese people are some of the most friendly and helpful people I've encountered thus far on this trip. If you ask someone for directions or point to map of where you want to go, they will help you! And there's a good chance they may even walk with you to that place to make sure you get there okay! In-credible.

During my last week in Taiwan, I visited the Treasure Hill Artist Village (to get lost and then see some street art), Yehliu Geological Park (to be trampled by the unruly tourists) and a few towns along the Pingxi railway line (to watch a hundred prayer lanterns be launched by families, couples and a bunch of ladies groups who were THRILLED to send up their lanterns and then spent five minutes afterwards jumping, clapping and hugging - life is exciting, people).
