The falling temperatures as winter approaches set the right mood for Taipei’s annual hot spring festival. What’s in store for this half-year long celebration?

Another submission at Gridskipper’s $100 a Day challenge was Patrick McCoy’s $100 in Tokyo (the other on Asia was $100 A Day in Hong Kong).
