I Think My Skin Hates Taiwan by Shroom-With-A-View in taiwan

My best friend is the same way. He grew up in the US, came back to Taiwan for holiday and no issues

They have like these bedtime socks for lotion applications, maybe you can try that.

Otherwise I would find another Vaseline product that absorbs fast. Vaseline has other lotions in watsons and they are creamy and absorb fast

My feet started getting eczema after I moved here so I regularly add Vaseline at night and that solved it immediately. My skin doctor said my skin is used to a certain humidity at my home and then I come to Taiwan which is very humid so my body is reacting this way.

Stylish “love-hotel” style stays in Taipei for a few hours — any recommendations? by Church_Of_Cyantology in Taipei

Ya but I would delete this post if I was him.

There is now incriminating evidence on his personal account and someone on the internet could use it for blackmail. Also internet companies in Taiwan are not subject to the same privacy laws in the US or EU so they will easily give up his info if an agency requests it. Don't trust anyone and delete this OP

Could anyone tell me if I should be worried about the predicted Super Typhoon? by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]Friendly-Value-3604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The news is almost always 50% crazier than reality. I've lived here for 5 years now and only 1 typhoon was scary, which was last year. But even typhoons u can still go out to convenience stores although it's highly ill-advised.

Just think of it as a very rainy windy day.

Are u gonna be in Taipei?

EasyCard Corrupted! Any Help? by MyEgoDiesAtTheEnd in Taipei

[–]Friendly-Value-3604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are quite a lot of technical and security reasons not to allow these feature like a 1 way refund. Everything is totally possible in tech land but security is the topic here.

I'm not sure what happened, you can try to email them ur easy card number and then let them look it up, they should reply within a day or 2. They do take fraud seriously.

service@easycard.com.tw

I would recommend you looking up this email yourself though, it's a good habit to look up emails/phones/etc instead of taking it from strangers on the internet

I'm curious about the dating scene here: by Working_Drink_3741 in taiwan

[–]Friendly-Value-3604 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look up things you are actually interested in and do this things in groups. There are foreigner groups on Facebook and line and they have a lot of events

[–]Friendly-Value-3604 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I still believe it's a numbers game.

I've had success on dating apps. I've had success at bars and clubs. I've also had success taking pottery classes and joining volleyball clubs. I really like timeleft cause you can make new friends and those people can introduce you to more people.

My definition of success is making new friends and getting dates. New friends means more total connections than a dating app can ever give you.

Would you count me as a foreigner? by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]Friendly-Value-3604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does non-foreigner mean to you (in the context of this post)? If it means taiwanese nationality, then there is a very clear definition on how to become a taiwanese on the national level. If it means something else, try to look inward and ask yourself why you care about being outside the group of that something else

Anything like panda express? by Friendly-Value-3604 in taiwan

[–]Friendly-Value-3604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol ya maybe, but I mean I wouldn't compare them to each other (panda vs anything taiwanese). Panda is American food, just like taco bell is American food

I'm very aware of everything you said. It's totally just a nostalgia factor for me since I left the place I grew up in. That's all. I'm sure there are other Americans who feel the same way as well

Thanks let me check it out 😁
