I have a special Fondness for Taiwan, it was the place of my birth. Its a really nice place....if you can take all the smog in the the cramped enviornment inside the the major citys Taipei and Kaoshung-which isn't to bad[the same goes for Tokyo and Hong Kong]. You really should try to visit Taiwan if you have the chance, it has some of the most beautiful countrysides and the Citys are always open to alot of stuff to do and the food is great....oh and bootlegs are there too. 
Tokyo is an Ok city..... but after living there for a couple of months...its not as glamourous as many American....or European Otaku freaks imagine it to be. I can't tell you how many people I've met who think that Japan is the world portrayed through its anime......its kinda frustrating to try to tell these people how these places arent' innocent wonderlands with anime and video games in everystore and where everyone is super nice and polite. Anyways, I had a nice time there, but there economy is so messed up [all the prices on there products are jacked up], there is that smog problem, and the cramped environments might take a toll on you....
