Will be in Tainan this summer, any advice for a newcomer ?

Hi guys,

I have decided to go learn mandarin in Tainan this summer from late June to mid-september. I'm planning on doing the summer program at Cheng Kung University and would love to find a place nearby (either a solo apartement or shared flat).

So i have a few questions that maybe you guys can help me out with:

Do you have any ideas or places i could turn to to find a decent place to stay starting from end of June ? Know anyone looking for a roommate ? My renting budget would be around 8000TWD or so.

For those who are into fitness and bodybuilding, any good gyms nearby Cheng Kung University ?

And lastly, i'm also studying chinese medecine (acupuncture) at the moment so i'm looking for some info about advancing my studies a bit while i'm there (or for the future because i still have to finish my courses in Paris for the next two years but may plan to stay in Taiwan year round and come back to France exclusively for my TCM courses). Anyone knows about a good places to start out while i'm there ?

Of course, feel free to drop any info you consider useful about life in Tainan, it will be much appreciated. If some of you guys are there already or plan on going there this summer it would be a pleasure to meet-up so feel free to PM !

Edit: Also considered Taichung for a long while so tell me which city you'd think is a better idea for a 24 year old considering i'm not much of a drinker anymore and prefer more laid back cities and nature.
