People don’t tan in Taiwan… they do the opposite since being dark seems to be considered as lower class… so skin whitening products are everywhere while tanning salons are impossible to find.
When you say long hair do you mean on a woman, or a man? Obviously on a woman its accepted everywhere, but on a man in Taiwan like most cultures it is seen as rebellious or criminal but the way things work in Taiwan is they could give a rat’s ass about what you do as long as you don’t affect them, so even though they may disapprove of your long hair, they will most likely keep it to themselves. I feel its actually worse to be a long haired man in the US (depending on State, its worse in conservative States like Florida) because if people disapprove of you, they generally voice it and you often face discrimination as a result, and since the law doesn’t seem to consider hair length as discrimination, many companies have dress codes, while not forbidding long hair on men, often requires a “clean appearance” which supervisors can deem long hair as not being “clean”. On the other hand in Taiwan they don’t seem to care as long as you pull your weight but this can vary from industry to industry. I see a lot of suit and ties with long hair as well for example, but conservative industries that strongly values image will be far more restrictive (like banking and finance). For teaching English, they kinda see white foreigners as more “open” so they are often more accepting and you can get away with more…
The workout culture is getting there, with a lot of big gyms opening up many years ago but you want to watch out which one you join, because some have been known to sell long term membership and suddenly go “bankrupt”. A few years back a major workout center chain went bankrupt and they were selling long term membership days before. The CEO of the company was charged with fraud as a result.
Thank you very much for the reply, any input on the height and coast questions?
Also completely off topic. How is taiwan’s growth rate compared to countires around? East Asia is one big booming economy how does Taiwan fall into ranks?

There are some beaches in Taiwan but I don’t know much about them.
I don’t know what is Taiwan’s growth rate compared to other countries around here, all I know is employment is abysmal because the wage has stayed the same for decades and no one is willing to raise them, but the cost has jumped exponentially.
If you’re looking for a real gym to work out in, check out Formosa Fitness. formosafitness.com/ The owner posts here under that name. Don’t bother with the chain-store gyms, just go straight to him.

1-If you are a man being dark is ok now, if you are a female, white is right.
2-Most young men nowadays have hair that make them look like complete cock-enthusiasts (courtesy of J-pop idols) so basically anything goes in the hair department.
3-on the taller side
4-there are gyms everywhere and this traditionally gay-dominated practice has now gone mainstream, don’t be surprised however when a fancy young gentleman without even batting an eye tells you: “you have the nice body shape” when you come out of the shower buck nekkid.
5-beaches are like Florida, minus the rednecks shooting fish.
for the record:
The D-dub (yes my new self-anointed nickname) supports gay rights:
but you do occasionally get idiots who tries to catch fish by electrocuting them, but oftentimes they electrocute themselves and anyone around them.
Idol why I’m laughing so hard never seen anyone do that lol.
In Taiwan, the eyes are often treated to things never seen before.
Not infrequently, the capacity to believe the eyes is tested by things never even imagined before.
一白遮三醜 that means one white covers three ugly…
