Probably doomscrolling or wandering somewhere in Taiwan. 🥳 But now back home 😭

These little things in my hostel in #Hsinchu #Taiwan just made the whole experience better 💞

More update: It has been confirmed that the accident was caused by a construction car from TRA's contractor, which was not parked properly on a nearby slope, causing the car to slip down and bump into the train that was passing through. #Taiwan

More: Taiwan Railway Authority said the initial inspection points the cause of the accident to a construction car that wasn't parked properly nearby, and the car slipped down towards the train track and hit the train which was passing by. #Taiwan

Tonight, #LunarNewYear’s eve, is a time to share a meal with family, pets included! I took time earlier to make sure that my cats & dogs are well dressed for our own feast.

tl;dr 5 Singaporeans stood with placards and flags outside the Ministry of Education. Security arrived under 5 mins to tell them to leave. 2 did, 3 remained. They were surrounded by police, given move-on orders. Under half an hour of the protest beginning, all 3 were arrested.

I'm just eyeing the Taiwan beer and snacks i brought home. There's no one who sells Taiwanese goods here, so if I eat them they're gone 🥺

In 2021, Taiwan needs to increase its wages.

Last year, Vietnam overtook Taiwan in terms of fixed wages, while Thailand, Indonesia & the Philippines are catching up.

Taiwan has fallen behind other advanced countries.

After years in Singapore and moving to Taiwan, there's really not much difference (except for housing). The safety, the international crowd, the government standing, the price gap between local and "restaurant" cuisine. I'd go back to both countries though. 🥺

[Roy Ngerng 鄞義林 Khûn Gī-lîm @royngerng]

The more I stay in Taiwan, the more I realize that Taiwan is not that different from Singapore. The difference is that I can speak up in one but I cannot speak up in the other. But in both, change for workers is hard to come by.

Wow this New Zealand pilot got around. Tienmu department stores and Costco Nankan.

[William Yang @WilliamYang120]

Some outrageous point of this NZ pilot's behavior: refused to wear a mask after showing symptoms of coughing, when he was asked by authorities, he also insisted that he didn't have any symptoms. It was only until his colleague said he had been coughing that he was busted.

Some Yongkang Street businesses to support if you’re in the area:

Lai Hao 來好 is the best souvenir shop in Taipei. They produce their own designs and raised the bar for souvenirs.

So long, Taiwan! Wished I was in the hello kitty plane 🤣 Taiwan, you've taken care of me so well, thank you 😭 Taiwan truly number 1 😭😭😭😭

[Nicole @asulworld]

五年千歲公園 or Park Chitose 5 Years is a large scale park with 72 scenic points! Getting there without car/motorcycle is very difficult (I went there with a city bike) 🤣 But it's free entrance and it's beautiful 🥰 #Yunlin #雲林 #台灣 #Taiwan

@WhenInTaiwan Persimmons are in season now!

[Nicole @asulworld]

Biked through the fields of Yunlin and I'm so grateful for the farmers that work so hard under the sun 🥺

[Nicole @asulworld]

Today's short trip to #Yunlin #雲林 #虎尾 township, honestly not much to see, the famous steel bridge under renovation, probably going to Douliu tomorrow
