First Post - Hsinchu, Taiwan
Hello and welcome to the ramblings of me.
I am here in the Ambassador hotel in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The hotel is next door to the Pig & Whistle (http://www.pigandwhistle.com.tw/english/english.htm) which cliams to be a British pub but does a good pint of guinness with some decent pub food. Ask about the discount card which can lead to free guinness.
In Hsinchu you have all the basics, Mcdonalds, Starbucks, KFC, TGI and Burger King. Although if you ever get here you should try the local food it is good although you need to like eating meat off the bone and soup. For the veggies, Tofu is big out here and it tastes pretty good.
Everyone is friendly and smiles all the time, most people have basic english but a few phrases of chinese would be handy. Shame I have not had the time to learn the few phrases that would make life a bit more easy especially with taxi drivers.
