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.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
