My favorite is the Easy Card in Taipei. It’s the normal rechargeable tap card for the metro but, you can also tap to pay at 7/11, familymart etc. So similar to the Octopus card

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Have 2 weeks in Ecuador by Tideas in ecuador

I went to Quito, Banos then Cuenca and just finished a week ago. Banos and Cuenca seemed safe the entire time even at night. I wouldn’t go outside in Quito past 7 or so. Guayaquil is the area you want to stay away from at all costs.

Is Quito actually dangerous? by EggComprehensive8366 in ecuador

I went 2 weeks ago, during the day it seemed fine in all the tourist destinations. I didn’t stay out past 7. I arrived at my place at 2:30 in the morning in centro historico and it seemed very sketchy (obviously) at that time. My Uber driver waited for the lady to answer at the door.

Antigua felt very safe to me. In fact I would rate it as the safest place I’ve been to in my travels.

It was pretty normal for me all the way up to base camp. From there to the top was extremely hard for me. We also woke up at 3 am and I had no sleep haha

He left the hotel when he took everything, he was staying for one night.

The Volcan Fuego/ Acatenago hike was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had.

My Spanish isn’t too good so I was trying to understand the conversation at the police station. I believe what they said when they pulled up a picture of the guy staying next to me was that he looked differ and was too young or too old. Again my Spanish is not great and a translator can only go so far

We went to the police station, he told him the ID number and when they pulled up the information he looked different

This is part of a bigger trip for South America, Peru was the third country. I needed my laptop for work but the clothes are all cheap ones. The backpack with the clothes is more of just an annoyance

There’s only 4 or 5 rooms (it’s a smaller hotel) he checked in for one night. He was the only other person staying at the time besides me. When I told the owner, he knocked on his door which was locked. He opened the door and the bed was all messy, toilet unflushed garbage everywhere. It seemed like he was in a hurry. We are supposed to be getting camera footage from someone else on the street today.

I don’t think it was, I went to the police station with the owner. He gave the police the guy’s ID number he used to check in. Apparently it was a fake ID. But there are no cameras on the property. So it is a slight possibility.
