I got into Taiwan about 3 hours ago. Here are a few of my impressions:
1. It's hot.
People weren't lying when they said that Taiwan was really ridiculously hot. I normally expect the temperature at 7AM to be pleasantly chilled, but climbing up the stairs to my room in the hostel I was sweating more than I can really ever recall.
2. The trees!
Riding the bus from the airport to Taipei, I was struck by how dense the forests lining the side of the highway were.
3. The cops are nice :)
I was stumbling around about a block from my hostel, not quite sure where I was supposed to be going. A police man walked up and in perfect english asked "Can I help you?" I said I was looking for the happy family hostel, and he lead me down an allyway to the door of the hostel.
Anyways, I will have some more pictures and videos for everyone who reads this when I get on my laptop.

Gosh, Jacob! So glad to know you made it! I'll keep tuning in to find out what happens. What a fantastic experience--even with the heat!
