Hey, me and my girlfriend we are going to spend a Semester abroad in Taipei (August-January). We are going to study in NTUST. We already have an Apartment in Shilin District. We are from Germany and we have have not been to Asia too much, only 2 weeks in Seoul so far. What do we have to know in terms of daily life, prices, transportation, climate, animals etc. Are there any specific hints? Thanks you in advance!
