Happy New Year

The January edition of Taiwan Business TOPICS is devoted each year to our Wine & Dine in Taiwan special issue. It appears, appropriately, around the time of the lunar New Year, which for Taiwanese is traditionally a period for enjoying good things to eat and drink.

Also in the spirit of the Chinese New Year, the Wine & Dine issue represents a bit of a break from the highly serious reading matter that normally fills most of the pages of this magazine. At the same time, AmCham recognizes that Taiwan's culinary accomplishments are highly deserving of attention. The joys of dining out in Taiwan are a big part of the steadily improving quality of life on the island - to the benefit both of residents of Taipei (whether Taiwanese or expats) and of foreign visitors.

Taiwan Business TOPICS takes this occasion to wish our readers Happy New Year - and good eating.
