    The same applies to elevators: let people out before you get in.

      Anyone can use a priority seat; just offer it up if you see someone who needs it more—no need to feel pressured. Not all elderly individuals expect you to give up your seat; some feel they're still quite young and don't require it, and may even decline. However, if you see someone who is visibly pregnant, people will generally offer their seat, regardless of whether it's a regular or priority one, since it's risky for a pregnant woman to stand.

        Exactly. If my foot is hurting and the only seat available is a priority seat, I'll take it too.

          Regarding point 4 (about flushing toilet paper), that's not always a given, so be mindful, everyone. You wouldn't want to clog the toilet.

            I've been flushing it for over a decade and never had it clog.

              I absolutely love Taiwan! I definitely want to visit if I get the chance.

                They're not even issuing visas, so how exactly are you planning to go?

                  Why can't you bring outside food in?

                    Perhaps it's because the establishment doesn't want to have to dispose of your trash.

                      Regarding point five: You can't get takeout when dining in a restaurant? Why not? I actually get takeout quite often.

                        It means you can't bring food you've gotten as takeout from another place into a restaurant to eat when you're dining in. Take another look more carefully.

                          These seem pretty standard everywhere, don't they?
