In Taipei, you better learn a little bit of Mandarin, otherwise, people could not understand what you say.

Very modernized city, and multicultural as well, balancing three different Han Chinese cultures as well as the indigenous cultures of Taiwan. Excellent place for anyone who wants to improve their Chinese, as well. Don't forget to visit the Night Market!

Taipei 101, like all spire structures, participates in the symbolism of the axis mundi : a world center where earth and sky meet and the four compass directions join. The height of 101 floors commemorates the renewal of time: the new century that arrived as the tower was built (100+1) and all the new years that follow ( January 1 = 1-01 ). It symbolizes high ideals by going one better on 100, a traditional number of perfection. It represents the spot where the tower stands: 101 is the postal code of Taipei's international business district. The number also evokes the binary numeral system used in digital technology. The main tower features a series of eight segments of eight floors each. In Chinese-speaking cultures the number eight is associated with abundance, prosperity and good fortune . In cultures that observe a seven-day week the number eight symbolizes a renewal of time (7+1). In digital technology the number eight is associated with the byte , the basic unit of information

Be sure to stay in the old quarter especially if you're staying on a Friday or Saturday night...it seems like everyone under the age of 30 converges on the area on the weekend giving the place a huge vibe.
If you're trying to find a restaurant, many are located on the first, second or third floors of buildings with ground level reserved for retail only. Be sure to look up!
