Only in the summer months it is hot and raining. The traffic is insane, the pollution makes me choke, the noise is earsplitting, the people are insatiable, and everything is overpriced. Foreign reserves include everything from gold to securities. It is a guideline of the Taiwan Government for Taiwan people to develop by any means necessary and there is very little restriction and law enforcement. Snakes are not the most harmful critters here.
People are, although mosquito-borne pathogens run second.
In August of 1998, I contacted a disease that could have crippled me for life. I became increasingly sick with fever and was hospitalized for nine days in a month long ordeal. I had an infection in the tissue that surrounds my brain and due to this infection, the tissue swelled, exerting pressure on my brain. At the hospital, I got so sick, I could not stand, and any motion to my body caused me great pain. To do a proper treatment, the physician must first determine whether the infection is viral or bacterial.
