dangermousieMr Mousie and I are going on vacation the last week of August (his amazing parents will be caring for Baby Mousie).
One of our two finalists for the place we are likely to go to is Taiwan (the other is Scotland, but as I've been there before, I don't have questions on that one).
First - weather. Guidebooks tell me it's fine but I want to confirm (we plan to go to Taipei and do some side trips but we are not planning to go to outer islands). Also, are typhoons are big risk at that time of year?
Also, how easy is it to get around when you have no Chinese (both of us are very self-sufficient and good with maps - Mr Mousie is a map genius - so we won't need to ask things on a regular basis but occasionally it might be good).
Oh, and finally - what are the cool things to do and see? And stay at?
So excited. We considered Korea but the books said the weather is awful.
