Visiting Taiwan

It's been a few years since I visited Taiwan, so I was excited to take some time off and explore the untapped treasures of Taiwan. Nothing is more welcoming to this tropical island once we walk outside the airport and I get hit by a wall of stifling humidity. Coming from southern California, I will take the dry heat any day. Whew, since I have been here a few days, I find myself always sweating. I guess it is a trade-off of having beautiful green mountains and the abundance of tropical fruit...yummy. I have been in fruit heaven since touching down. Which brings me to my first thought...why do we import mangoes from South America; y'know, it is stringy and always a hit and miss being sweet? Here in Taiwan, the mangoes are more sweet than not and most importantly, not getting stuck between my teeth.
