      Besides Taipei, which of the smaller cities would you recommend considering?

      How big is the language barrier? Obviously I am not going to be anywhere near fluent in Mandarin by November. Can I assume young professionals in Taipei may know some English, but otherwise it is basically nonexistent?

      Cultural Dos and Don'ts (other than the obvious avoiding discussion of relations with the PRC).

      Probably looking at about 8 days over there, so would you recommend sticking to the northern half, or is it worth heading south for a few days?

                              We looked at the Edinburgh tattoo, but decided on a week in Norway and Sweden. Wanted to tour the Volvo factory, but the English tour is on Thursday, which happens to be the national holiday the week we're there.

                                If you’ve never gotten food poisoning just before a day with 11 hours of plane travel, it’s not really an experience I can recommend (luckily it was on the way home, not on the way there).

                                Besides that, Norway was great. We were really lucky with the Northern Lights and got good displays both nights (even saw pink). Some beautiful scenery on Flåm Railway and Hurtigruten, even with fog and snow.

                                My favorite city may have been Trondheim - so cute.

                                We watched Norwegian playoff hockey on TV during some down time, and Mario Lucia and Greg Mauldin were playing (and Mauldin had the gold helmet as the leading scorer).

                                One thing we thought was odd - no one asked for ID for our domestic flights. Not once.
