When looking for English-speaking help, target high schoolers and university students/graduates: they have to study a lot of English and have a reasonable speaking ability. I also found Taiwanese very nice and willing to help. Staffs in guesthouses are great and friendly. To compare with other developed Asian countries, I found traveling in Taipei more convenient than traveling in Korea or Japan (though these two countries were OK for only speaking English). | |
