<p>Kaohsiung perched on Taiwan's southern coast is real Taiwan. Kaohsiung a lot less internationalized and modernized than Taipei -- and that's its charm. </p><p>The food especially seafood is amazing. The temples night markets and small restaurants tend to be just quirkier than Taipei's. And the crosswalk signs are creative moving cartoons.</p><p> </p><p>Kaohsiung was Taiwan's rust belt a few decades ago but now is emerging as a hub of culture art and technology.</p><p> </p><p><strong>The Kaohsiung Experience </strong>is the local Kaohsiung.
