Thanks for the suggestion. A better title would have been "A Short Trip to Taipei (Not China)", since he never leaves Taipei and it doesn't get very 'real'.
While she does uncover some local finds not seen in any guidebook (I *heart* Figure 21 and Booday), I do agree that not leaving Taipei means she hasn't really seen "the real Taiwan"...but she has seen a part of it, and I do laud her for making it clear that Taiwan is NOT "China Lite" - because it's not. It's its own country.
