Taiwan is ok. The women are hot, no doubt about it.
The internet is a sham though, just like everything else here. I pay for an 8M line but the actual throughput is far far lower. They offered me a fiber connection a few months ago, but after talking with other foreigners, I found out the fiber is even slower.
They are just incompetent here. The fat pipes are in the ground and high speed is possible but they are idiots. Things like DNS and load balancing and caching DNS are just way too advanced for these people. You can raise hell, and after they send idiots out multiple times, you might get lucky and have a guy that actually has a clue AND is willing to do something productive, but the blazing high speeds only last a few weeks before some yahoo in the CO screws it up again. The good news is that the internet rarely goes down completely and I've never had any sites blocked.
Thailand is great, but the internet goes down much more often. The Thai firewall will sometimes block porn (it's illegal) and of course anything remotely close to breaking lese majeste laws. The political situation is also still a bit unsettled there, but presently no big issues.
