The moment I saw video art installations in the immigration area at the international airport, I had a good feeling about this country. Streamlined public transport system in Taipei and Taichung, great range of food, fold-able bicycles, friendly people, and free entry to most of the great art museums.
The best part of Taiwan was seeing hand painted hazard lines on just about everything. It has become an addiction of mine to document street signs and hand-made contraptions I encounter in my travels.
