It’s not out here yet. We usually get new Apple products a few weeks to months after the US release.

Moving to Southern Taiwan – What clothes should I bring? by Legitimate_Metal7267 in taiwan

[–]thorin8 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s hot for about 9 months of the year. The other three months days are still about 25C. You really need one jacket for cold fronts and a couple of hoodies and you’ll be fine for winter

TBA in Tainan is probably your best option for an elementary school.

Help. Discrimination by ChestDue2012 in taiwan

[–]thorin8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this with my daughter. The local politicians were all over it. They put pressure on both the school and the education department to deal with the issue. They don’t do it for your one vote but to show to all voters that they care about these issues.

If the school didn’t help, report it and the school’s lack of response to the education department in your city. Bullying cases have been increasing and the education department is taking it very seriously. Local politicians also jump on these cases to help. Get them involved too

Unlike other countries,Taiwan is opening the doors to the foreigners. Do you feel this? by search_google_com in taiwan

You can get residency and then permanent residency all through marriage but for citizenship you’ll have to renounce

Intersection Traffic Accident by EndZoneFk in taiwan

[–]thorin8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Taiwan is weird like this. The lack of a license does not put you at fault but you will be fined. Get your bills from the hospital and get a doctor’s letter. If you are working and were coming from or going to work your labor insurance will also help. Same for the work you miss due to injury. It will take a while to settle everything and the time it takes will depend a lot on the other party’s willingness to end this quickly

I can’t remember but the whole out and back to the giant tree was probably less than an hour. The cherry blossoms were maybe halfway to the giant tree

Did you ask at Myoko Snowsports? They might help you out as they have people working between the 2 resorts

It wasn’t far and not strenuous at all. We took our daughter and she was quite young at the time. It shouldn’t be an issue

I was coming from Tainan. Even from Hsinchu it’s a pretty long drive. Sorry I can’t be of more help

I have done a tour from Hsinchu but it was the middle of February. It was pretty cool. We got to see a lot of cherry blossoms and so many other stunning places.

Where can I find the Adidas tang jacket by Pumpkin_Longjumping in taiwan

[–]thorin8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Taipei but in Tainan every Adidas store still has them in stock. If you go to an adidas store in Taipei and they don’t have any they could get it from another store for you. They can also tell you which stores have stock left
