Been thinking about visiting Taiwan and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.

Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to the Philippines?

Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
