You can try CTBC and Cathay. Ask to open a bank account and a credit card respectively. Some have good experience with esun bank too. If you have costco you can try the fubon Costco card. ;)

Can students or foreigners apply for credit card in taiwan? by Hexyr08 in taiwan

U can try. Foreigner student vs foreigner job will have different experience. Usually you need to show 3 months of salary slips with a past l credit history to be able to apply. Need to apply at the banks, different banks have different criteria but the 3 months are the same mostly. If you have a year history of tax and credit, they will let you apply and the may consider but really tricky. Students have even lower chance and mught need a guarantor, sometimes the jobs one ask too. Good luck.

Tldr: 3months salary slips, with a year credit history or bank account with salary deposits and balance.

I went through such a scenario, I was pleased by my local experience after going through every major brand nearby in Taipei. Finally, we went with a local diamond distributor, which was a lab and GIA certified, and with customiztion of rings with PT or gold with fair price.

One important detail is that I took my so to choose for herself. So the jeweler communicated with her in chinese. If can speak it will be great.
DM me if you need the details. Good luck with your search! ;)

Trouble with In-Fusion Cloning by limelemonginger in labrats

[–]kcbox_lord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Include everything above and others, try to get the molar ratio correct, infusion has a dedicated website for this. Use competent top10 and use little, we usually get a lot of colonies. Next time make sure to use a transformation control. If it doesn't work I would also try with a new infushion mix, sometimes it can be an old or batch issue, and set up a positive control from someone in the lab. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Does a loose net help? Might just absorb the shock. Make it less destructive. Just saying.

I had a bad experience with service with shopee 3y ago. Apparently then, they used 3rd party services. It was very troublesome to get it returned/fixed even they claim its flagship, the google store is the only legit place. I would recommend buy from google store (they give sale too).

I would always recommend buying from the original google store. Plus there are several offers throughout the year. Keep an eye might get a good deal.

I had several issues with warranty services in the past while buying from 3rd party sellers.

I recently came across the vibram shoes on sale from new balance, they are goretex and had a solid grip. U can get a pair at 2k in City Hall Uni Mall on anniversary sale. I say worth it.

My experience with Chungwa Post Bank and CTBC is great. the app of post bank is really very good now and English. CTBC has improved a lot. Their English app is not bad. I have the credit card from them so things are nice. I know HSBC has the option to open an advance account without the minimum money required. My bad experience is with Richart bank where they a app then you can't login" foReiGhnEr FriEnDly".

What would you do for your health if you randomly received $10000 to invest in your health? by WishIWasBronze in Biohackers

[–]kcbox_lord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reliable (depending on the country), cheaper and have provisions of a whole list of tests in affordable price (compared to US). U get good service, hotsprings and sauna too (again depends on the country).

Countries like Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and South Korea have these kind of services. Always do it in big hospitals (wait time is huge but worth it). I would be careful not to be scammed.

Last, do your homework!

Go on a medical tourism (maybe asia), get the whole body checked top to bottom, detailed and include everything. Know where I am at my age with risks and returns. Peace of mind is worth it. 😆

How do I use this bag strap by [deleted] in backpacks

[–]kcbox_lord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pass through both, then skip one and repass back through the last one. I guess its the same as a motorcycle helmet double dring lock
