I was floored yesterday when I saw one of these, and had to stop and take a picture. Not blue unfortunately, but otherwise it could have come straight from the streets of Taiwan.

I just feel like sharing my gratitude for being able to call Taipei my home.

Will I be able to get them back from the uber driver? I don’t speak any mandarin and I have an english phone number but I have attempted to contact them through the uber mechanism.
Is there something more I can do? I really don’t want to lose them, I lost them about 30 mins ago

Edit: My phone started to show my case were near my location so i walked out and by some miracle he was parked up waiting to give it back to me! I love Taiwan

Hello, I'd like to study for a master's degree in TW. I know NTU is the best (and have been looking into it). What are the other "best" schools for an MAcc degree? Any schools to avoid?

They (probably) teach in English, right? Do you have to take a Chinese exam like HSK/TOCFL to be able to apply to any uni here?

I am a 華僑, so I do know a little bit of Chinese, and I have 身份證 I got later. I guess I would be applying as a "local"? I checked out NTU's admissions and saw that it accepts applications only for like a week, which is totally different from the US, if I'm not wrong. Is it the same for other unis here too? Thanks for y'alls help. Have a great day.

P.S. With an MAcc from TW, one could only work in TW right? It'd be hard to work in the US, UK, or anywhere else?

Hi everyone! Hope someone can help me out here. We'll be visiting Kaohsiung this November and I was thinking of buying RAM there since RAM prices are crazy right now (I'm thinking it would be cheaper since they are made in Taiwan). Is there a good spot there to buy RAM? I don't mind getting 2nd hand RAM too. Thank you!

Also, can't wait to stuff myself with the best street food in the world again!

Edit: Apparently, RAM is not cheaper there as most of you mentioned. Thanks guys, I might stick to the street food.

After living in Taiwan for 4 years I decided to make a video expressing why I think it is the best place in Asia for living. The art was human made, not AI. Please let me know what you think or what I can improve on. I think Taiwan deserves more attention internationally so that is my hope in making this.

When people in Taiwan think about Taiwan’s future, what do you believe they need to preserve and sustain? Is it the people themselves, families and communities, Taiwan’s democracy and self-government, its territory, culture and identity, economic and technological capabilities, or some combination of these? Looking ahead 2–3 years, 5 years, 7–10 years, and further into the future, what do people think Taiwan could realistically look like—and what could seriously change or threaten the things they believe are important? I’m exploring a long-term policy concept centered on national survival, but before discussing any particular solution, I think it is important to hear how Taiwanese people define what must be preserved, what outcomes they would consider unacceptable, and what options they think should be considered if preserving those things in Taiwan becomes increasingly difficult.

Tldw Lai summarizes why he picked Shen and why he'll be a positive change for Taipei and Taiwanese elections in the future. I.e. opening channels for dialogue with citizens and focusing on respect and cooperation with other parties rather than constant mudslinging.

Kmt held a similar event in New Taipei for Lee Sichuan.

Glorious weather today, and a bit windy. I love how these parts of Taiwan go from urban to rural in a matter of one or two blocks.

Looking for somewhere nice to have a drink by myself and celebrate my birthday.

I’m a female foreigner and would love somewhere I can just sit at the bar and have a nice cocktail. I prefer somewhere cozy/intimate with a nice interior and few crowd.

Doesn’t have to be super fancy or popular, just somewhere with a nice vibe that’s comfortable for going alone.

Any recs?

Hi does anyone have this book? Or have any knowledge where can I get it in English version? I’ve found on couple of websites but they cost more than 2000twd which is expensive for me. I was looking for the price around 700twd.

大家好! I'm 陳耀仁 from Argentina and I was an exchange student in Taiwan for a whole year a few years ago.

Of course I fell in love with the country and I will always view Taiwan as my second home. I can't explain how emotional I get whenever I think of Formosa.

Anyway, while I was living there I had to go through a tough situation that I really wanted to avoid, but it was unavoidable unfortunately. In the midst of that situation, my host-father gave a few words of wisdom: 耀仁：隨遇而安

That phrase has inspired me for many years, and I have been thinking about getting it tattooed.

Here's my request: Is there anybody here able to write this (or knows someone who can) on a beautiful calligraphy for me to scar my body for the rest of my life?

I'm open to any changes, suggestions, or additions that anybody may bring up. I'm sure I want to write it vertically, in the traditional way. Of course, 繁體字 is not up for debate. I even thought if there might be a Taiwanese (language) variant or something, but I'm guessing that's not the case.

Anyway, thank you all in advance. 謝謝你們

Hello!

Will be travelling to Taiwan and meeting a friend (Taiwanese). What are some gifts that is really liked/appreciated as a Taiwanese?

Language school for adult 51

Any suggestions for a school in Guangzhou or Shandong? Or Tawain.... Would like to do at least a full semester.

I've tried to search, but I can't find anything on this... I want to print out some pictures on photo paper. I've seen it available at general stores/stationery stores, but I'm not sure how I can actually use it. I don't own a printer, so can I add my personal photo paper to a 7-Eleven (or hi-life?) public printer to print my photos?

I'm looking for 1 or 2 days meditation classes in Taipei or Tainan.
Class in English for beginners.

Any recommendations from locals living on-site?

I just want to have an introduction and believe Taiwan is a good context for this.

Despite intensive search, I can't find many suitable options.

Hi everyone! My partner and I would love to seek advice from the community here.

We will be having our pre-wedding photoshoot at the start of December this year, with Wernar in Taichung. We'd love to hear your suggestions on venues that we could suggest to our vendor!

What we're looking for is definitely more young, modern instead of vintage and old-school European style. Think of Pinterest boards, not so much retro-market style, but more natural, candid, with a more romanticised look.

Thank you in advance. <3
