Shoot me a link to the video. I need this when I get old and infirm in the next couple years! Awesome!
Itâs already wack that anyone would have a BBQ on the riverbank during typhoon weather. But then, thereâs another group right beside them that has to be shouted at to leave.

Like one of the sweetest caring thing anyone has ever done for an old man.

Ok, so, business idea: old folks home for furriners with monthly performances, music discussion groups and VR experience.

For those who like to get the old heart racing, you can consider setting up an IP subforum.

That would be allowed on Boxing Night. And I do not mean after Christmas. I mean the one you need gloves for.

The news article I read has the group leader saying no problem as they have much experience and knew where to set up their stuff.

From the article:
They said there was also a more sedate game of bingo in the nursing hall, where the pensioners enjoyed eating mooncakes together.
Iâm sure the residents just loved bingo and mooncakes over the strippers

Really getting fed up with Taiwanâs fucking around with covid. Sick of having to wear a mask everywhere. Sick of being stuck here. Sick of the no end in sight for the lifting of the pointless restrictions.
LikeâI know the current restrictions arenât TOO badâthree in a hotel, four self-monitoring. Fine. I can handle that. But itâs the âneeding a negative test 2 days before your flightâ and being tested at the airport. It just seems so easy to turn your holiday into a complete faff because you need to take a test.
I assume if you test positive, you canât fly? Which means Iâll be stuck in lumber. And I assume if you test positiv at the airport, so much for self-monitoring at home.

Yeah I agree itâs all annoying. Assuming things will open up soonâŚ

I was under the impression they did too?!
If anyone knows then please post a link, my flight is in 2 days!
Has that gone?
Last I heard about it was Juneâs update.
" Although the quarantine period is being reduced, travelers from abroad will be still be required to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within two days prior to their flight at the airport before they start their journey.
Upon arriving in Taiwan, they will have to take a saliva-based COVID-19 test and will be given two free rapid antigen tests before heading to their quarantine location."
I canât see any mention of it changing in the article about Septemberâs changes. If that definitely has gone, thatâs a relief. But thereâs still the test upon arrival which could muck things up
Nope, no PCR or other test needed before entering Taiwan now. Just did so last week

July 16th I came back to Taiwan and did not need a test before getting on the airplane.
Posted the departure info and arrival experience here somewhere in a Covid thread but definitely not in the whack things thread.

How about to leave Taiwan?
Sorry, but I could only find an article for inbound and not outbound travellers.
To keep it on-topic: opaque Covid testing policies and rules are whack

Glad to hear thatâs been removed. Whatâs the deal if you test positive with the airport test? Are you then carted off to a quarantine hotel, or even if sent home, do you have to do 2 weeks qaurantine at home from that date?
Because honestly, thatâs a big concern too. I couldnât cope with it again. Especialyl since if they did the test at the airport, Iâd be on the manâs radar, so I couldnât just blow it off.
It happened to my friend lately and he got moved from his quarantine hotel to a government quarantine hotel. Not sure what happens if youâre at home, I was worried about that myself.
