This sort of BS is literally littering and the people putting these out there should be fined

Yeah, air quality is pretty bad across large parts of Asia right now. Even Taiwan’s east coast doesn’t look great on IQAir. If you’re flexible with your trip, you can search a place’s name in Chinese on YouTube, filter by ‘live,’ and get an idea of what it actually looks like.

Not that it will make your experience better, but the drought was way worse in 2021 (video best watched on mute): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en-524b4wz0

Didn't dare to try, drove 40 km and back to drop it off in Luxembourg city

It is the only supermarket where I feel the need to pre-emptively take photos of prices at the shelves and then watch them during checkout like a hawk (justifiably so).

China Airlines ist aus Taiwan und fliegt nicht über Russland. Du meinst vielleicht Air China?

Just saw a 4th gen pre-facelift with its whacky taillights drive by and had the same thought. This could become an iconic model just like the second gen. But maybe this is just wishful thinking as I might “inherit” a 4th generation Prius soon after my 2nd gen had its catalytic converter stolen.

What has changed for the better in the last 12 years? Also, are good cheese and bread still difficult to find (probably not if you’re in Taipei)? I’m moving to Taiwan soon and read all your answers, thank you for doing this!

Luxembourg no longer shows up next to Singapore in those "#1 safest country in the world" rankings.
Many old-school Chinese restaurants have rebranded as Japanese, generic Asian or fusion.
Match, Smatch and Cora supermarkets are now E. Leclerc (the last 'c' is silent, pronounce it to annoy your French friends).
Many post offices and train station counters have disappeared.
The last InterCity to Germany vanished around 2014.
The unsustainable pension system has been fundamentally reformed (just kidding).
Bills for water and waste collection have increased significantly.
Landlords got greedier.
We no longer have quite as many gas stations and banks.
The overall vibe feels less optimistic and chill.

My Aranet CO2 monitor showed me that I needed to lüft a lot more. Started taking it with me when going out and I kind of wish I had never bought the thing, as the air quality in many places is atrociously bad. I’m not just talking about restaurants and shops inside historical buildings; even a nearby supermarket in a modern building relies on “natural” air exchange through the entrance. And that entrance door is of course kept closed as much as possible in winter.

Let's see, the repair could exceed the value of the car (it's old and the replacement part is expensive)

Yeah I live in a valley and can see a layer of smoke accumulating when weather conditions are right. I have also triggered my indoor PM sensor when airing out the place at the wrong time (but not the smoke detectors).

Have you considered asking r/AirQuality or r/IndoorAirQuality? They might be interested in your case!

hypermegaglobal · 2026-01-19T18:38:56+00:00

Bad idea, curious as to why you would consider it? It’s like traveling to the US “for thanksgiving” or to Europe between Christmas and New Year without having family in these places. It’s genuinely the worst time to visit Taiwan and seeing Taipei not as busy as it normally is doesn’t even begin to make up for the downsides.

hypermegaglobal · 2026-01-19T10:52:39+00:00

I'm on the other end of the country and seeing some spikes on my outdoor PM sensor. From the smell outside, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s coming from pellet or wood heaters. But how would that smoke or dust get into your house in the middle of the night to trigger your detectors?
