The most overlooked piece of advice for Westerners looking to live in Taiwan.

Humidity control.

Sure you feel it outside... but it's inside as well if you aren't careful. And it effects everything.

• Food spoils quicker.
• Clothes get stank.
• Garbage gets rank.
• Synthetic rubbers on tablets and other gear melts.
• Walls get the black rot.
• Fungal infections spread.

Invest early in a dehumidifier and prosper.

P.S. - Running AC in the Summer helps too.
