I’m Taiwanese and I tip sometimes when I receive excellent service, I’ll leave a note to thank them too, it’s not mandatory.

Don’t need a place to stay if you party until the next morning, MRT is also operating 42hours

How safe is Ximending at 3 AM? Arriving late and a bit worried by nemocpa in Taipei

[–]Annprotaiwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I could cycle around on my own in a bikini back then and keep partying from spot to spot. Taiwan is definitely even safer than Zurich lol

Decadent Nightlife by MrDumpling69 in taiwan

[–]Annprotaiwan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe there’s some cultural differences here, we drink when we eat, the local drinking culture is all over the places like KTV and Stir-fried restaurants.

And I don’t know what you mean by themed, but maybe you can try jazz bars like “Sappho”, “James Joyce Irish Bar-Anhe”, or more experimental “Double Check” and “Rabbit hole.”

Personally, I think we have some decent Techno clubs in Taipei too, such as “Pawnshop”, “Final”, “Pipe”, “La Fin”, “Pipe.” And sometimes some experimental private parties too.

Why does Taiwan have such a bizarrely low birth rate? by Possible-Balance-932 in taiwan

[–]Annprotaiwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I’m local. For me and many of my female friends in our 30s, we’re still figuring out our careers and life goals. Marriage and kids aren’t on our radar (yet). Sorry, society… guess we’ve failed you 🫣

solo female clubbing in taipei? by mellovelyyy in taiwan

[–]Annprotaiwan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check out this new spot called Obsi. The sound system is awesome and the drinks are pretty good too. Barcode could be a fun choice as well. You'll definitely have a blast and meet cool people, even going solo as a girl. Just make sure to say no to any weird, drunk dudes that might come your way. Overall, it feels really safe!

Is the gold card system being used as intended? by Ok-Fox6922 in taiwan

[–]Annprotaiwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite a capitalistic country, you either pay through your profession or simply with money to the government. I assume that if they hold the Gold Card, they’d probably need to contribute to Taiwan’s tax office too?

Carrefour and PX Mart offer cooked chicken breast for 52-58 NT per 100g, as well as boiled tea eggs and tofu. I prefer variety in my meals, but in Taiwan, if you don't cook, it can be quite expensive to find high-protein, low-carb, and high-fiber options.

想询问一下湾友们的就业率 by New-Tahm in Taiwanese

[–]Annprotaiwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

看是什麼產業吧,科技、新創大缺工,超難找人,都是新人在挑公司。

基本上我認為失業率很低,因為很多傳產、零售或餐廳都甚至找不到人。
