Taiwan

Links and resources related to Taiwan.

Additional information can be found on the original ESLweb.net Taiwan page located at http://eslweb.net/topics/taiwan.shtml.

More additional information: I've started a site for information about Taiwan, so this page probably won't see much growth. The new site is located at http://formosahut.com.

  • Posted to a list: "Try Greenfield Home it is at the back of Kenting High St, 08 886 2368 + 2292, I have stayed there for years, left all sorts of stuff in my room including laps tops and expensive cameras and never had anything go missing. In fact a friend of mine left a valuable necklace there and the owners kept it for 6 months until she went back their again. The owner is very friendly and speaks a little English if required. It's NT$1,000 per night on the weekend."
