Exchange Student Expectations

1 Upvotes

Hi! I hope everyone in this subreddit is doing very well. My name is Beau, I’m a 10th Grader in high school and I have been granted with the opportunity to become an exchange student and come to Taiwan, however this is only a possibility for now. On the off chance I do end up becoming a foreign exchange student, what are some things I should expect coming to Taiwan (e.g. cost of living, culture, safety and crime rates, etc). Thank you for your patience!

Any recs on what to do in the rain?

6 Upvotes

Just landed here in Taipei a few hours ago and have about 5 days in Taipei…wasn’t expecting this Typhoon when booking this trip so now kind of wondering what to even do for the next 5 days.

Any recs? Here w my mom - we both enjoy food/drinks, art, history, and are super open to trying new things. Let me knowwww.

Side note: Would nightlife essentially be a no due to the rain? I’m keen on getting out to a few bars but don’t know what to expect w the rain lol

Any way to know what places are open? We're at the end of our trip and leaving tomorrow (hopefully). Would like to eat some good food before we go. Perhaps tomorrow? We leave for the airport at 9pm tomorrow.

Lost a single AirPod Prob3 around the New Taipei City modern art museum! If anyone is there/planning on going there, please keep an eye out 😭

I already told the museum staff to call me if they find it. Last seen yesterday Wednesday 10/21 at around 4 PM. I suspect I lost it around the second floor area where the lockers are. I went back to look for it today but no luck. As of last night, my Find My app was still pinging the AirPod as in that museum area.

Please let me know if by any chance one of you spots a left earbud! Thanks so much (AirPod pro 3, with a silicone tip)

Low FODMAP Options - Taipei

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I am traveling to Taipei with a friend who can't eat very much allium (garlic, onion) and gluten. We are trying to come up with a few options for her that should be safe.

I've been trying to find any information about ready to eat items at Family Mart / 7-11, but it's been hard to find information. Any ideas or ingredient lists that anybody might be able to provide would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks!

Water heater for rental place

Hi All

Anyone know how I can solve the lack of water heater in the rental room I am looking at?

Landlord refused to fork out money to install. Other than helping the landlord to install one out of my own pockets, what other ways I can solve this?

Thanks in advance!

我现在会先看菜单是不是有几样稳定想吃的 还有店里的人忙不忙但会不会一直催。比起网红榜单 这种小细节更能让我想再去。你们判断一家店值不值得回访会看什么

American filmmaker recently inspired by Edward Yang. I’m visiting Taipei for the first time in 3 weeks. I was just wondering if residents actually know where this tree is and if people take pictures there. I’m not seeing anything about it being a landmark.
