Traveling in Taiwan should be relatively cheap for you, as Taiwan prices haven't changed much and even with the new currency rate I think you'll find Taiwan very affordable. You can take a look at http://www.taiwanderful.net/guides/living-costs-taiwan , see the costs and translate them to dollars with www.xe.com . I'd be happy to give you some "average" prices for more specific things, and please also indicate what "class" you're looking at. Taiwan can accommodate well both the poor backpacker and the 5 stars folks.
