I'm in Kaohsiung now. It's the second biggest city and it's in the deep south. The weather remains hot even now in November. There are plenty of factories around and the pollution is nasty. There are some nice parts, but too many cars and scooters. Sidewalks are bad and people are not as laid back and friendly as they are in Chiayi. It has an MRT, but it's quite a bit less convenient and more crap than in Taipei. It's not bad here, but not great either. There are a couple of interesting places to visit (Cijin has a beach and some touristy street stuff. The sugar factory is pretty interesting if you are interested in the Japanese period, which I am.) The city is too big to get around exclusively on a bike, and the big roads and pollution make that less fun than it should be. I guess it's all convenient and reasonably nice, minus the air.
