I believe the best word to describe how life is in Taiwan is CONVENIENT.
Beside All pass MRT Ticket and discounts for students.
What other things can do to live conveniently in Taiwan?

Taipei, not Taiwan.
Lots of places in Taiwan are not convenient and Taipei is the exception although a couple others are catching up.

If you want convenience, stay in Taipei and live close to an MRT station that has eateries, markets and other shops that have everything you need. I live down south. Even though I have an MRT station across street, there are no decent eateries (unless I want to eat at department store food courts all the time) within 500M, and the closest supermarket is 750M away. In that case, Uber Eats/Foodpanda is a convenience (with a premium).

Online shopping is super convenient here!
It sucks in Australia, takes too long and returning things is a pain and not free.
Going to the post office is convenient, they’re everywhere.

very convenient. until you are old and/or handicapped in some other way, then it quickly becomes a nightmare.
as a young or able bodied person, taiwan is pretty easy all around I find.

Australia is like the most inconvinent place on earth (for a developed country)
I dunno if I’d go that far but Taiwan is definitely much more convenient.
Australia is getting better in some resepcts, but cost of labour in Australia is so high that getting anything done conveniently is super expensive
That’s why online services are good in Aus (that don’t involve postage). Companies can avoid staff costs.
We also don’t have a problem with ‘the working poor’. The high wages definitely make it harder to start a business. There are pros and cons.
Australia also has the record for longest recession-less period too so it’s economy still functions well.
Australia is mostly inconvenient because it’s sooo big with a remote population.
Taiwan is convenient cos it’s so small with a large population.
