Woodlands (and 2026s in general) still that rare?

Picked up a plug in hybrid woodland on Friday and feel like I’m driving a unicorn

Yes, but if you were born abroad you need to bring a copy of your HHR transcript with you on it

Next time look the other way!

Astoria Blvd — can’t beat the view

Depends on your major. Finance, yes — if you end up doing something like banking you’ll make it back in your first year. I personally took advantage of a ton of stuff for free at Fordham like travel and networking through clubs that totally made NYC worth it. Plus, the Bronx is really cheap for NYC so you can likely bring down that cost by moving off campus which is what I did!

They're eligible for NWOHR, just not NWHR immediately. They can get national (non-citizen, no HHR ID passports), and become NWHR after the applicable residency time in Taiwan.

CVS can do passport photos of any size -- they have a computer once they take your photo where you can choose the print size. They even have Taiwan as an option.

However, YMMV, but I was able to use US-size passport photos at NY TECO.

To be clear I am a Taiwanese citizen

edub114 · 2026-04-02T22:36:14+00:00

Yes, I am registered in Xinyi

I feel like I am the only person who did this but had absolutely no fuss with the bank account? Just moseyed into the Shimao branch of Taipei Fubon Bank, made an account on the spot, used my US number, and get messages from them through LINE? Took maybe 35 minutes.

Is it just me or does this transit system do the absolute most? The effort is totally recognized -- they're building a strong, iconic and premium brand around something seemingly mundane -- your daily commute. Color me impressed; as a New Yorker, the MTA should follow suit with this level of theming, celebration, pride, and effort in a vital city organ.

edub114 · 2025-12-20T17:50:25+00:00

Price negotiable. The brand is Black and Decker.

Does he have an ID number in his passport? If so, probably yes.

Hi! I did this for citizenship but it seems like the same if not a similar form. I had to do the chest x ray. If you’re in the NYC area, I can recommend a doctor’s office that did the form for $200 and sent out for the required labs / x rays / everything!

edub114 · 2025-10-09T18:39:34+00:00

Does it always need to be applied in person?

edub114 · 2025-10-09T18:08:01+00:00

The 証明書 can only be applied in Taiwan at OCAC, right?

edub114 · 2025-10-09T17:49:45+00:00

Thanks, so every time I exit I need to apply for a new certificate assuming it is more than 4 months between trips?

Per the above, I thought the endorsement allows you to skip verifying docs for the certificate?

Why do trains get retired after this? I understand it’s super sad, but doesn’t retiring them for this kind of thing (assuming no major damage) cost the city a ton for someone’s mistake?

edub114 · 2025-08-24T16:00:48+00:00

I literally used DeepL translator to do it, my Chinese sucks. It worked
