• Walking directions: http://goo.gl/maps/DXNeA
• I paid 500$NT ($16USD) for 10 days of unlimited mobile data (no voice, sms).
• Bring your passport, take a number, and ask for someone who speaks English.
• Took about 30 minutes altogether.

Eating

Notes: The malls have lots of food shops in and around them, and usually a food court in the basement floor.

Fast and easy options:

• The Grand Hyatt hotel has many restaurants in it, if you're tired.
• Taipei 101 basement food court - From French bakery to sushi-go-round, tons of options. Also has a grocery store.
• Eslite basement food court - Again, many options here.
• American food.: I've seen at least 4 Starbucks in the area around the Hyatt, as well Gordon Biersch and TGI Fridays.
• Irish Potato... tempting just for the novelty.

Shopping

• Eslite: About 1 block from the Hyatt, this 6 floor store is somewhere between Tokyo's Tokyu Hands and Powell's Books in Portland. Great place for gifts.

General Tips

• Don't drink tap water. Only drink bottled water.
• Always carry an umbrella
