However, there will be no battery charger,adapter, or other daily necessities provided. So it would be better if INCOMINGS can bring these stuff with them when they come to Taiwan, so that there won't be many unnecessary costs when you come to Taiwan, and you will have more time to go sightseeing and relax XDD
About the mattress, we will buy it for you when you come to Taiwan.

Social Life
places to have fun in Taipei
Taipei 101
The highest building in Taiwan, and once the tallest in the world!! There are expensive and luxurious stores!!
Taipei Palace Museum
The Palace of the country, containing all the most precious historical marvels that the country consists!!
Xiaobitan
Xiaobitan station is the highest station of the Taipei MRT system. Xiaobitan is translated literally into "Little Greenish Lake". There are many hot-pots to eat, and there is a public park. The view is great and the food is delicious!!
jingmei night market
Containing all sorts of cusines and Taiwanese traditional snacks!! Also reached better by car.
Wulai
Wulai (烏來) is a small town in Taipei County, Taiwan, famous for its hot springs and aboriginal culture. The name of the town derives from the Atayal phrase kirofu ulai meaning "hot and poisonous". Don't let this scare you away from this lovely town! Consider going during the week if you can as it is quite crowded on the weekend. Also, in the summer, it might be a few degrees cooler than Taipei, but the elevation is not sufficient to provide real cooling.
MRT to Xindian Station (Xindian line). Take the bus, Bus Number 1601, with destination name 烏來 Wu Lai at the bus stop in front of the station, just behind the Information Counter. The bus journey takes about 40 minutes (longer on weekends) and costs NT$40. If you are using the EasyCard, remember to tap both when you are getting on and getting off. Wulai is the last stop, so you can enjoy the journey without worrying when to get off. A seat on the right side of the bus allows views over the river. Definitely the easiest and fastest way to get to Wulai is simply to take a taxi from Taipei. It only takes 30 minutes from Taipei station and is cheap, don't waste your time taking the bus. If you have 2-4 people it is cheaper than taking the bus. You can negotiate with the taxi drivers.
