Thoughts on Taiwan

Since arriving here a little under a week ago I have taken notice of some difference in the life here

•   Driving is literally a life and death situation, whether you are in a car or on one of the million motorbikes crowding the streets
•   It is unbearably humid and hot here, my closest comparison would be Florida although much worse
• Everyone reverse parks here
• Generally, they do not seem to serve water or drinks with meals in general
• Everything looks very old and rather dirty from the outside
• No soap
• No one usually greets you when you walk into a businessafforb
• Temples have huge light up signs on top (why?)
• No women's shaving cream?
• Food is inexpensive
• There are always people out at anytime of day
• The sun sets very early here, about 6 or so

just some things that have crossed my mind, more to come I'm sure
