-What are the positive and negative aspects of living in Taiwan?
The negative aspects are definitely the appalling traffic conditions and pollution. By traffic conditions I don"t just mean traffic jams. While the roads are very busy the traffic usually flows reasonably well. What bother me are the appalling driving habits. Most Taiwanese show no courtesy to other road users, have little understanding of road safety and no respect for the road rules.
Most of the urban areas are crowded and ugly. Although there is some interesting and even beautiful architecture here, most buildings are utilitarian concrete boxes. Little attempt is made to preserve buildings with historical and heritage values. Generally speaking Taiwanese people don"t concern themselves much with aesthetics.
