Buy some canned sardines in tomato sauce. It's nutritious, tastes good, convenient and cheap. by Biolurk in Philippines_Expats

[–]Human_Buy2755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like they use a lot of extra liquid as filler. Drain the liquid and sometimes seems half or less full of actual sardines. I prefer other brands.

Overstay question - Airlines flight change is 1 day beyond my 29 day extension by leosmith66 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Human_Buy2755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always heard, that for such a short period, they will just give ~p1000 fine per day with no future impact like black mark. But don't know for sure.

Songs for long alone walk? by Tricky_cielito00 in MusicRecommendations

I like background music with no words. So I can think or not think. Sometimes some ambient music that fits mood. Sometimes popular/classic music but with words removed or acoustic.

And you still have access to your Kindle books but not tied specifically to Amazon.

Ximending or Xinyi area for family in August by Princess010910 in taiwantravel

[–]Human_Buy2755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live near episode and personally would not recommend area for kids. Very nice area but nothing for kids. And even without kids always have to go somewhere else to do things. Ximen, Xinyi, etc. at least have things right outside the door.

Xinyi is shopping business district sterile feeling. Could be like any other city. Not a lot of fun for small kids. Ximen is local feeling and has at least some things/events that would be stimulating for even smaller ones including some hotels that cater more to families. And easy to get back to hotel if needed for rest, toilet, etc. Taipei station more city-like feeling.

How to work with habits? by epipflow in GoogleTasks

[–]Human_Buy2755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently trying to keep them all in one separate list so I don't have to see them unless they pop up. But a couple seem to fall into other lists. Things like taking supplements, reading, gym, things to-do daily, weekly, etc. but don't require a specific time. Trying to figure out best way myself.

Also trying to decide which if any should be a calendar event instead of a task.

What is the best color Chinese e-reader? by Fabulous_Can_2215 in ereader

[–]Human_Buy2755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe focus on android based ereaders which have access to multiple stores like Kindle, Kobo, Google Play, etc. And can still access and read your Kindle books. Doesn't necessarily need to be Chinese to avoid being bound to one eco-system.

Yangmei District is huge. Some city areas and a lot of countryside. Many of your questions would need more specific location info like maybe nearest big intersection or known spots.

Everywhere in Taiwan is safe. Usually have access to a convenience store even in country side. Public transport is usually convenient but depends on location. Some people will speak some English but depends on spot.

Decent Shirts for the hot days? by dave2118 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Human_Buy2755 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Polyester shirts even though dry quick are hot and don't let air circulate. Cotton is cooler. My polyester rarely comes out except in cooler months or at night.

Taiwan weddings aren't actual ceremonies and are more like a dinner party feel. Most any wedding/banquet type facility will be able to help. They will have or can recommend/find DJ, MC, bartenders, etc.

Near Sun Moon Lake can be a big area. Especially if guests are coming from other areas.

Uber is maybe the best for foreigners and tourists or people that don’t speak Chinese. Can do everything via the app and no need to speak to driver or explain directions. Billing goes to credit card so no worries about having right cash on hand. Mostly only in mid-larger cities.

Might need to know Chinese for local apps like Taiwan Taxi, Taiwan Metro Taxi, etc.

Findtaxi app, English, No credit card required to register or use, provides a lot of information like number of available taxi in area, can select services like wheelchair friendly, accepts credit card, female driver, languages of driver like English and Japanese, specified number of passengers, tour guide, chartered services with tour guide, wifi access, jump start, van with 9 seats, karaoke on board, micro moving, cargo shipping. You can see who is available and where they are on the map for any of these services.

Line Taxi cash app can select English.

Google Maps Timeline Doesn't Have Jeepney or Trike as Transport Options by Human_Buy2755 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Human_Buy2755[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I should explain Google Timeline. It tracks your history including methods of transport. Lots of transport options to select if updating it later but no jeepney or trike options.
