Taiwan is a pleasant surprise to all who venture onto this fair island. Although not a popular tourist destination, Taiwan has been passed over for the more romantic Thailand or Hong Kong which is a shame because it has so much to offer. The pride of Taiwan is the capital city Taipei, home to one of the world’s tallest buildings, epicentre of Taiwanese culture and home to a bazillion mopeds.
In fact, scooters are so popular that the first 300 meters at each red light is occupied by a sea of buzzing scooter folk. There are tall people, short people, pets and entire family units on scooters. This method of transportation is a really fun and easy way to get around in the city, but it does account for the fairly bad air quality and you will soon realize the wisdom in the fashionable facemasks the locals spot. If you want to rent a scooter, you may want to try Bikefarm as they do deliver it right to your hotel.
