Teachers beware! Taiwanese mosquitoes.

Don't know if Taiwan still has this problem, but back in 1998 when I was teaching in Taipei, I got terribly sick. And it was only my 1st week there too.

The mosquitoes made me really sick! There was also no shortage of homeless dogs roaming the streets in Taipei. These 2 factors, combined with unhygienically prepared meals ended my stay in Taiwan 3 months into my 12 month teaching contract.

I don't know if the problem still exists, if it's only in Taipei, or if I was just one unlucky guy.
