Weather

This is probably the most convenient time of the year for the Europeans.

It is neither too hot nor too cold, temperature oscillates on the level of 25 degrees. Recently it has not been raining, although there was already a week when it rained heavily for a couple of days in a row. But it was the time when two typhoons were going near Taiwan - unfortunately neither of them visited Taiwan (maybe it sounds suicidal, that I am waiting for typhoon, but locals tell that it is unforgettable experience:) ). So autumn and winter are nice:)

But this was not a case at the beginning. 2 months ago it was all time time around 35 degrees, enormous humidity, and it seemed impossible to stay outside during the day for more than 20 minutes. Walks to school, which take about 10 minutes, were unbearable and mostly ended with sweaty t-shirt and bad moods. That is why so many people did catch cold at the beginning - including me.

The other thing is that it is impossible to live without air conditioning. Wherever you go, there are fans blowing in your face. It is great and pleasant and all, but guarantees a cold before you get used to it. Constant temperature changes are tricky.

So, if you are coming to Taiwan - be prepared!:)
