Myths, nailed it, and pleasant surprises about Taiwan

[TT]

Another myth for me: Taiwan is so convenient

Chunghwa Telecom requiring foreigners to reverify their ID?

I don’t mind so much if the ID on file expires, but doing this every time I re-enter the country, as the regulations seem to be written, is going to get irritating fast! They should really do something there that isn’t treating every resident foreigner as a tourist. Not sure how many foreigners living here have prepaid plans, but it’s worked pretty well for me so far and I don’t see much advantage to switching to postpaid (besides this silliness).

I really don’t see it. Basically nothing here seems more convenient than other places I have lived, while lots of things are far less convenient.

Ok, there are a lot of convenience stores, but that’s largely a byproduct of the high population density which contributes to the traffic and parking inconveniences
