Thinking about Taiwan? You could grab one of those touristy, commercial travel guides. Or, you could dive into Taiwan with your new local bestie, LeeAnn (that's me), who's about to give you the actual lowdown on this amazing island, minus the tourist fluff and with a healthy dose of Taipei-approved snark.
