Taiwan tourist information, your Taiwan questions.

If you are looking for Taiwan tourist information (but not only), ask them here and I will (try to) answer

From time to time I receive messages from visitors asking me questions about Taiwan, usually Taiwan tourist information related.

I normally try to answer these questions, if related to my site topic, to the best of my knowledge.

I eventually decided to build this web page, where you can ask me your Taiwan questions.

Your questions - and the answers, from me or from other visitors of this website - will become additional pages of Taiwan Travel Experience, so that everybody can benefit.

I am not a Taiwan expert. My only qualifications are being resident in Taiwan and, especially, being married to a clever Taiwanese woman (to whom I will ask the difficult questions, of course :))).

So, whatever questions you may have about Taiwan ... ask them here. I will do my best to answer you as quickly as I can.

July-September 2011

We are on holiday! So I am not checking email regularly and I might not be able to reply shortly. Please email me later.
