Taiwan - first impression and some general information There's a more or less the atmosphere, as in a small bathroom, where someone napuszcza the tub of hot water. I have exactly the same feeling when I leave the air-conditioned rooms on the outside. It is veeery wet and very warm. All the fanning, much of Taiwanese and Korean people carry with them umbrellas to uchornić your skin before your tan - and indeed are quite pale. Fortunately, everything is air conditioned. All buildings, all cars and buses. Every store, every little pub, each shed, whether from Chinese jedzieniem, whether from the same drinks.
Taichung walk in the morning after, you meet many people practicing different things in groups of trawnikiach. Sometimes it is a tai-chi, yoga sometimes, and sometimes kung-fu, and sometimes simple exercises to improve the well-being and physical fitness. Twice, in front of our dining room, I saw people who have learned before breakfast mini-schools, a dance listening to Chinese songs.
Most people are used as the main transport scooters. There are hundreds of them. On the streets of most of the scooters. Almost no motorcycles, and cars are almost the same as in Europe. Of course, there is less Italian, French and German, but more Japanese and Korean. Over these two days have seen a lot of minor cracked between scooters, apparently this is normal here, because the collision does not degenerate into arguments, sometimes were completely ignored by drivers of their scooters. One
of the main entertainment in Taichung, especially for tourists - of which Europe is just a few, and all are in our language course are called. 'Night bazaar'. Lots of narrow streets, with shops, restaurants and other bazarowymi stands. Of course, as befits a decent Taiwanese bazaar, you can buy everything here. Most, however, is food. Every other booth is a place where you can eat. I can not even write exactly what they are, for a total of not much more I ate traditional dishes, but most of it is either pasta or rice, or dumplings, to the beef, chicken, veal or seafood, and all together can be either in soup or fried. Soon I will write something more about the food. Now, to mention just about something for some reason in Poland is not - or I have not seen. Squeezed juice of watermelon - sensational! It's easy to make yourself. To the ice and we have super-cooling fluid. Półlitrowy cup costs about $ 25 here in Taiwan, which is about 2 PLN.
What surprised me very much, is that the sun goes down here very soon. Already around 19:00 hours it is quite dark - so a total of 'night bazaar', a 'night bazaar', because quite early getting quite dark and it is as if night. Unfortunately, lack of sunshine does not improve the climate. A few hours after sunset is getting slightly cooler, but the humidity persists. Wind is not nearly at all. Although the weather seems to be cruel here, a total is not a big problem. On the outside is only when there really is no other way out, and everything else - as I wrote - it is air-conditioned.

Some things are very good, some less. Popular tofu is 
soup was made from a photo of the noodles, tofu, mushrooms that looked like octopus, pieces of pork liver (which hold the pictures in the sticks) and the pieces of duck and chicken intestines - even though I love Polish tripe soup, this dish is not accounted for appealed to me. But less than a dessert version of tofu. This time floats in the tofu, soy milk, in the company of raisins, pieces of ice, nuts, and black pearls - something. Sweet, cool and good for dessert.
