on June 8, 2004It is hot hot hot and muggy is the summer. If you are not too worried about pollution it is a good idea to wear tanks and t-s because there is less to stick to you (and it WILL stick!!) The wintrer stays fairly warm but it is humid and there is no central heating. If you arrive in the winter it will seem fairly warm but after 1 summer the winter will be FREEZING by comparison. Always have an umbrella handy 9especially May-Aug).
Taiwan is NOT well stocked in deoderant. if you choose to wear anything other than rol-on you will want to bring this with you. There are pharmacies and toiletry shops all over the place but they are a tad expensive. *Girls will want to bring their own anti-fungals. *It is a good idea to bring an emergency supply of ay medication you will need (incl. ASA. Acetamenophen or Ibuprofen). It is very difficult to find any anti-histimines. It is also a good idea to bring insect repellant and sunscreen.
There are some beaches not too far away from the city. you may find them polluted but other than that... You will want your regular beach equipment (most will have a place where you can change and shower) and some money (for entry fee and eating!) Don't forget to bring bottled water (*same goes for everywhere in taiwan.)
