     Taiwan has a wide selection of cinemas, and the major cities have dozens each. Western films play in their native tongue/language but are all subtitled in Chinese.

     Taipei even has a major International Film Festival annually (last week in November, 'Golden Horse Film Festival'), as well as some newer, competing film festivals, and even small groups of independent filmmakers are satrting to pop up around the island.

     Concerts, composed of both Taiwanese & Foreigner bands, such as the annual 'Spring Scream' (www.springscream.com) festival in Kenting are held regularly around the island.

     There is also no shortage of dance venues, exhibitions and classes around the island, in almost every style. Aboriginal dance is very colorful and shouldn't be missed!

     Taiwan is home to the greatest (biggest/highest quality) museum of traditional Chinese art in the world at the National Palace Museum (it's post WWII history is amazing...). For Chinese Opera, there is no better place outside mainland China than in Taipei.

     Taiwan TV has a large variety of programming, infommercials, sex channels, Western movie channels, CNN and ESL learning shows + public access...)
