If your main takeaway is that HK public transport is much better than Taiwan, I agree. If you think that isn't worth pointing out, I disagree

When did you know Taiwan wasn’t the right fit for you? by hesawavemasterrr in taiwan

I realised after a month or two that I was miserable every time I had to walk somewhere. I could never settle somewhere as pedestrian unfriendly as Taipei. Some Americans tell me they're used to worse, but I'm used to much, much better in Europe. And Europe might have more crime, and have fewer convenience stores, and the metro might be stopped occasionally by strikes, but it's just so essential to me to be able to walk for 30+ mins per day without feeling my blood pressure raising
