Hello Taiwan!
In December the weather is pretty cold here and it was raining on the first day. I arrived around 6 PM which was already dark. I had a warm welcome by AIESECers as soon as I arrived and then we took a bus from the airport to Taipei. The express airport buses cost around NT$120~NT$150 depending on the bus company and it is operating a service every 15 minutes. The airport is about an hour away from Taipei and there are freeway buses to many cities, picking up and dropping off passengers at most of the five star hotels. Our bus stopped at Taipei Main Station which is connected to an MRT line. It's very convenience to go around Taipei by MRT and it will be another option to go to he airport in the soon future.
I was greeted by a very warm family on the first night and had a great meal at the restaurant near by their house with a surprised earthquake while we were having the meal. I didn't expect that everybody would run out of the restaurant but they did. The earthquake was quite strong but only for a few seconds so we were fine and finally finished our meal.
We took a walk around that area and found this chain pearl milk tea shop. There are everywhere in Taiwan and seems like it's pretty famous here.
