Gerenally it is safe. Just the usual : hold on to your bag/wallet in crowded place, don't flash your cash, etc.

Some tips from the local guide:

Not that we will do it there, but avoid all politic discussion. If you can avoid, move away from people giving something that look like political material

If your gf like to call you Lao Da, it is time to change as well.

think all the image links are not working.
in any case...

who have tried before 明日大饭店 (future stars)? what about 国光饭店 (good ground)? how is it?
would living near xmd area or taipei main station area be better?

To nuttyazn:
the flowers hotel link doesnt appear to be working. any other urls for flowerS?
