Taipei Warning or Danger Tips by fotonik

To avoid exhaustion under the hot sun, feel free to use cabs. They are very cheap. However, make sure they understand where you want to go. Sometimes, they can bring you to a destination other than the desired one, perhaps on purpose to get a hire fare from you.

Alternatively, you can use the metro. But, don't eat, drink or even chew gum in the metro system, lest you get a fine!

Finally, you can simply walk about the city. However, if you do, watch out for the hardcore traffic. The scooters are especially problematic as they often zigzag in between cars and are easily missed until the very last moment. And they often go on the sidewalks.

Don't drink tap water and watch what you eat. Pay for a decent hotel if you don't like roaches.
