Taiwan is a strange place. Parts are very developed. Others are third world hell holes.
RE: Others are third world hell holes.
I’ve LIVED in Taiwan and can speak both Mandarin and Taiwanese, where the hell are these third world hell holes you mention in this island?
I’ve been to many cities in this great country of ours ( Detroit,MI, Camden, NJ and Gary Indiana ) and can’t find a place in Taiwan worse than these REAL hell holes.
Heck, I feel safe walking the streets of Taipei and Kaoshiung at night. Can’t say the same with these American cities.
