    Things to Look Out For

    field notes
    1

    The 7-Eleven economy

    Taiwanese 7-Elevens are not Western 7-Elevens. They are ATM, post office, train ticket counter, parcel pickup, hot meal stand, café, photocopy shop, and bill-payment terminal. Usually 24-hour, every two blocks. When in doubt, walk into the nearest one and ask.

    2

    Night markets, not restaurants

    Shilin, Raohe, Ningxia. The real Taipei dinner is one hour of slow-walking between 30 stalls, eating in two-mouthful portions: scallion pancake, oyster omelette, stinky tofu, mango shaved ice. Cash only. Carry small bills and a friend with a stronger stomach than yours.

    3

    EasyCard everywhere

    Buy a NT$100 EasyCard at the airport metro counter. It pays for every train, bus, YouBike rental, museum entry, and most convenience-store purchases on the island. Recharge at any MRT station; refund the balance at the airport on the way out. No app, no card-reader theatrics.

    Plan Your Timing

    When to Go

    Taiwan's sweet spot is October to April. Dry, mild (12–22°C), low humidity, no typhoons. May–September brings the rains, the humidity (90%+), and the typhoon season (peak in August). Cherry blossoms come in late February through March; the autumn festival lights are November.

    The driver said his daughter studies engineering and his son runs a stinky tofu stand at Shilin. He pulled up at the hotel, gave me a card for the stand, and made me promise to go before midnight.

    ✦ Memoir

    I watched an old man fold a paper-money offering with the same precision an engineer would use. He saw me watching and laughed. Held up two fingers, then turned both palms up. Forty years, he said in English.

    You queue ten minutes to photograph the Queen's Head rock. Skip it. Walk five minutes further along the cliff path. The Sea-Eroded Mushrooms are the better geology and you'll have them to yourself.

    The observatory opens at 9am and the early-bird ticket buys you fifteen minutes of empty floor before the queues catch up. The light comes through the eastern glass like ink filtered through paper.
