I think the Japanese regularly forbid foreigners from stinking up certain establishments. I’ll only get upset if this becomes a trend and I can’t eat at _any_ of my usual spots until the plague is over ☹ ---

With a mask on and sounding as local as I do I could probably get past some less observant people. But I wonder if they’d actually throw me out once they realize I’m not as local as I seem. ---

I hope they ID people at the door! I don’t want those sneaky ABTs who haven’t naturalized, eating at that restaurant with _REAL_ Taiwanese people. ---

> [@Marco](#): > > The worst thing is that it’s not us bringing the virus, but the local Taiwanese coming back from their travels. Listen buddy! I know my stuff, I browse PTT. The Taiwanese government has this completely under control and it’s foreigner nationals and ABTs (without TW ID) who are the problem. Taiwan is completely safe and you can travel around and do whatever, no worries, no need to take any precautions because the government says Taiwan’s all good. Just don’t travel overseas and stay away from foreigners (especially south East Asians). ---
