Forget the Rumors! 🇹🇼 Taiwan is NOT What You Think (AT ALL!)
-
Right, it's not that they're undeveloped, just incompatible. But you can use Apple Pay.
-
Actually, there used to be a lot of trash cans. But then people started stuffing their household garbage into them, making a mess, so many were removed.
-
No wonder I couldn't find any trash cans! I often end up carrying used tissues or empty bubble tea cups around for ages.
-
Excuse me, are public restrooms readily available?
-
Some convenience stores (like 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Hi-Life) have restrooms.
-
Every photo brings back memories of my trip there last November.
-
Come on, post some pictures!
-
For mobile payments, there's Apple Pay and Line Pay.
-
Line? That's the first I've heard of it.
-
You're great at photography! Even the rundown streets look so charming in your pictures.
-
Haha, Taiwan might look a bit rundown at first glance. But then you discover it has a unique charm. It really grows on you and leaves a lasting impression after you've left.
-
Comparatively, electronic payments aren't as widespread here. You definitely need to carry cash. Street food stalls and some great local eateries or cafes still prefer cash.
-
That's right! And the ride-hailing apps seem different too. Apart from Uber, our usual ride-hailing apps don't work there.
-
Trash cans... you can just use the ones in any of the convenience stores all over the place.
-
Basically, the trash cans in convenience stores are meant for customers who've eaten there. Most people feel a bit awkward just walking in to throw away their outside trash.
-
For a sweet and fair-skinned girl like you, even if you weren't lost, I'd offer to help you cross the street.
-
You're so sweet!
-
There are many mobile payment options, just not Alipay which you guys might be used to. You could try Apple Pay next time.
-
We all use Alipay.
