    Inspiring view of Taichung Taiwan from the In-house Hotel. But we do get in-built abseiling equipment in our room on the 8th floor.

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    Lots of hassles for you. This pretty much mirrors our experiences last November/December. The claim is that it will all be fixed by 2025-ish but I am unconvinced.
