Only Westerners work though Chinese New Years.  That is about the only time off you get all year.  I worked 7 days a week for my first 3 1/2 years in Taiwan - still work six.  

Pot Stickers, which are big money in the USA, are quite reasonable here and loads of shrimp.  At least you have an apetite for Asia.  Taiwanese don't do the tea washing thing, but everything is on paper and dispossible - the water is questionable.

Green tea is better for your digestion than coffee, but I am a major supporter of the local Starbucks.  It's in the blood.

Swinertons in Kowloon will provide you with anything in the way of an English book, including good programing textbooks.  They have a bit of a British flavor - willing to stock real information.  And they used to be quite larger, but after going back to China their is less market for English.  I may ask you to locate a book or two.  Kaohsiung has next to nothing.

I still shop there whenever I am in Hong Kong.  It is better than Stacey's in San Francisco.
