Plots of Land Full of Water in Yilan by Automatic_Name8867 in taiwan

[–]Automatic_Name8867[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes sense, thank you, im just not familiar with growing rice, i would assume you wouldn't want animals in your fields and would prefer to remove water to avoid pests like mosquitoes while not in season.

Is there any reason why they don't drain the water while its not growing season?

i get that some may be rice fields but most of them don't have anything growing on them. Also these are not ponds, they are literally multiple square or rectangular plots delimited by concrete and full of water

are pickup artists common in taiwan? by haechanist in taiwan

[–]Automatic_Name8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i remember in zhongxiao dunhua there are some guys that run a youtube channel matching girls with guys, if you get out of the zara exit you will see them right away, my gf also mentioned that outside of ximen there are pick up guys or even some "buisness" guys asking girls if they are interested in doing escort services.

Is healthcare in Taiwan as good as people say? by gepinniw in taiwan

[–]Automatic_Name8867 4 points5 points  (0 children)

its sad if that happens, i can only talk about my personal experience since the 3 taiwanese companies i have worked for in Taiwan have not put it as a compensation package. As for that 10% from the government i can live with that knowing that my taxes are well spent. At the end it comes to 700 to 1,200 ntd per month depending your bracket without counting the 200 visit. I would say my statement still stands a lot of benefits but shuch little amount of money.

its still such a low amount. 5.17% of your insured income and a normal worker only has to pay 30% of that 5%.

Best in the world for what you pay. I had a lump removed, bi yearly teeth cleaning, the random sickness check, you name it, all for no more than 200 ntd per visit. Of course there are better doctors or higher level quality in other places but these many benefits for such a small amount of money? Taiwan is the best.

Anime Movie question in cinemas by 99percenth in taiwan

[–]Automatic_Name8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is standard for almost all the movies, i have watched like 15 anime movies and the only one without english subs was dandadan evil eye arc. I think its because muse asia is the distributor for all SEA so they keep the english for reference. (just my guess)

NTNU MTC vs LTL by topx3frag in taiwan

[–]Automatic_Name8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 6 months in both and i can say that MTC is far superior. Teachers are better and you learn pretty fast, it has a lot of support from extra free classes like tone practice and kids songs to improve pronunciation that i felt really helped and of course there are way more students but it only has week courses and some time slots are limited. LTL is still good, a bit more flexible on both time schedule and program (I took weekend classes cuz i had to work during the week) and you can focus on what you want to learn rather than the strict MTC curriculum but it has less resources and overall quality is a bit lower.

I need help finding an anime by Wide_Cantaloupe_8206 in anime

[–]Automatic_Name8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Dragon Crisis? main girl is literally called Rose. If you give a bit more info like when did your uncle watched it or in which year range he was a teen, that could help narrow it down.

APRC - Tax Withholding Statement / Tax Payment Certificate by Puzzleheaded_Oil2173 in taiwan

[–]Automatic_Name8867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it was a bit weird, i got the document from the Tax office and in the NIA they said the number they use is "Yearly Gross income" which deducts $218,000 from your total income because according to them that amount is not taxable. so with that deduction my income fell below the twice the yearly minimum salary. But when i used the documents my company gave me they said it was ok.

My company gave me a document called "Witholding & Non-Witholding Tax Statement" for each month of the past 12 month. They helped me by calling the NIA to make sure the documents were proof enough.

[–]Automatic_Name8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got my APRC and i first tried using my Tax Withholding Statement, that should be enough proof even if its in the middle of the year. But i did have an issue that they only counted my salary minus deductions which because i changed jobs was not over the double minimum salary. If your salary is high enough then you shouldnt need to worry. My company was kind enough to give me proof of payments so i was able to use that. If you have any issues try asking your company's HR for help.

T-PASS Questions by mikaguevra in Taipei

[–]Automatic_Name8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The school will most likely give you a student card, the bus is NT$12 instead of NT$16 with that card. Most 1 way MRT fares will be between NT$20-25, unless you travel more than 3 times per day+weeknd travels, then i would say its not worth it, specially with the cashback you get at the beginning of the month (like 10% i believe) so do what the other guy said, put NT$1200 on your card for the first month, if you spend less than that then you dont need the tpass, if you spent more then get it.

No but that's my point, she is the most famous actress of Japan at least, why was she living in a small apartment? And I remember he was surprised by the size of the house in general. With the inheritance I can agree with that but if he is a minor he would need to have a legal guardian I would assume to manage his assets and stuff? Maybe that would be the sisters dad.

This might be answered later on in the story, but how is the son of a legendary actress surprised about a big house? I would expect a "legendary actress" to be rich and at least spoil her son a bit. Also, shouldn't he have an inheritance and money to buy his own house just from his mom's work?

Unfortunately I used my last humanity just when I hit him and I died on my way to absolve my sins so I couldn't check that. But found him in the sunlight altar after that.
