CIVILIZED | FRIENDLY | DELICIOUS

It is fair to call Taipei a more civilized version of New York. It is a big city, a real city, but there is something about the people and the culture that makes it feel slower and more polite. The people running the subway system in New York should come here and take notes. Restaurants are plentiful, citizens are welcoming and the area provides easy access to rainforests, mountains and beaches. Taiwan is typically not at the top of most Americans "must see" list, but it absolutely should be.
