Taipei - February's rain & my street food discovery

Taiwan is one of a few countries in Asia where I've been only once. I wish to come back there but not in February! My first trip to Taiwan was in that month, a few days after Lunar New Year. And it was raining all the times during my stay. From the day I arrived, the rain accompanied me until my very last day.
After the train from the airport to Taipei, how long I had to wait at the entrance of the metro station, without umbrella or raincoat, I was standing there nearly half an hour, tried to figure out what I should do as the rain seemed never stop! Then I had no choice to carry my luggage along the street in the rain to look for my hotel. There was a very kind lady who asked me to join under her umbrella while across a boulevard. I was not lucky with the weather but leave it, the rain aside, my time in Taipei was full of many surprises and very nice discoveries.
