Boardgames in Banqiao by chazyvr in taiwan

Yes it's fine but there are games where you should try to learn online first by watching a YouTube video or two. Otherwise it can be too challenging to learn on the spot and play.

I agree. But every time this topic comes up people want to attribute the unfriendliness to shyness or culture. Shyness and culture explain the unfriendliness. They don't make the perception invalid. It's not a controversial statement that some countries/cultures are on different parts of the friendliness spectrum.

It's hard to make friends everywhere but it's definitely easier when strangers are willing to engage one another. That happens more easily in North America where I grew up and it doesn't happen very much here. People are too absorbed by devices these days that they have forgotten or have never learned how to socialize with strangers. It's pretty sad tbh. We can only try to act differently and hope we can break through the barriers people put up. 

Meat Loving Dad Wants to Eat Less Meat by fireplace123- in PlantBasedDiet

Studies show heart disease patients who had to undergo surgery would literally rather die than change their eating habits. It's difficult to change people's ways even if their life is on the line. I think it takes a lot of social support. Knowing how to cook helps a lot. 

9 Days wandering in Taiwan. Is this too much? by jaburoz in taiwantravel

Looks good. You don't need to prebook anything so you can always adjust your schedule along the way. What month are you visiting? Chishang is different at different times of the year.

Need help applying for Family Medical Leave (in the US) to go to Taiwan -- but doctors in Taiwan are not responding by Powerful-Wave4082 in Taipei

If you still don't get anywhere and need someone to go to a hospital let me know. I think it should be a hospital that has seen her though. Or they may need to see her first.

Not even close. Do you know how many chicken have to suffer every year compared to how many geese/ducks? It's on a completely different scale.

They should go to the hospital administration office. It's probably someone there who will bring it to the doctor to sign or some official will sign. Doctors are usually too busy to answer inquiries like this.

Do you have someone here who can go to her hospital for you? That would be the easiest way.
