Cost of Living in Taipei

ROC is dangerously encountering the national security now due to the traitor Tsai and her treacherous democratic party who are disowning and manipulating the institution of ROC treacherously and wickedly to the extent of causing worldwide unrest now so instead of waiting for the untrustworthy election next year (which might be deliberately rigged again just like on the previous election which probably resulted the most popular candidate Han lost the dumb traitor Tsai unbelievably), Kuomintang should immediately provoke the 2nd revolution immediately in order to save ROC from destruction under the traitor Tsai and her treacherous democratic party or else over the billions Chinese worldwide shall no longer accept the treason of the traitor Tsai and her treacherous democratic party upon the China motherland and consequently war shall follow to result the destruction of Taiwan.

Taiwan has become an incredible animal kingdom under the current foolish president Tsai Ing-Wen where her current foolish government announced recently to subsidize dogs and cat for its food, clothing, and other necessities starting from this 6th June while Taiwanese have to work like slaves to pay for the pet's subsidy unfairly according to the news at the link below.

Not only Taiwanese are being treated worse than animal to the extent of working for animals now in Taiwan under the current foolish president Tsai Ing-Wen but also the worst is that the current foolish president Tsai Ing-Wen even skyrocketed the rice price imprudently from less than 20 NT dollar per kg to more than 40 NT dollar per kg under her administration while the current international rice price is less than 10 NT dollar per kg especially among Myanmar, India, etc and this unfairness is absolutely unacceptable to Taiwanese and it's no wonder the birth rate in Taiwan has been collapsing unlike never before in Taiwan history due to traitor Tsai Ing-Wen's unforgivable sin of skyrocketing rice price.

So Taiwanese have an unfinished business to settle with traitor Tsai Ing-Wen and her democratic party for the sake of justice and that is to send traitor Tsai Ing-Wen as well as all traitors of her democratic party to jail until the end of the world.

Too late for the ccp trolls to hide anymore. The United States military will lite a fire under China that will incinerate everything in China.A rude awakening is coming to china's doorstep it's called death.

Lots of ridiculous posts from sad Chinese trolls here.

Taiwan's economy is doing amongst the best worldwide now.

Taiwan government is the most shameless scammer the world has ever seen as it's overcharging its returning citizen for a whopping 2000 NT dollar per night for staying in shabby or lowest-class, ultra small single room in the government quarantine centre where this kind of shabby single room is charged as merely as around 400 NT dollar in Osaka, Japan where it's called the economy Japanese style single room. This is the greatest corruption ever committed by any government overcharging against its citizen outrageously unlike never seen before in world history.

No one in Taiwan but only the working people automatically receive the payment of coronavirus stimulus unfairly unlike other countries and this is the most unfair scam ever committed by any government in history.
This the most unfair Taiwan government is wasting Taiwanese's tax money by automatically providing payment of up to 30000 NT dollar to all of the working people or all employees in Taiwan recently in the name of coronavirus stimulus wrongfully but there is no plan to automatically support for the unemployed people or other idle people in Taiwan unfairly unlike other countries.

The recent approved Coronavirus stimulus package of over 7 billions US dollar wasn't necessary if the Taiwan government were good enough to prevent the recent outbreak of coronavirus but this good for nothing Taiwan government delayed the purchase of coronavirus vaccines deliberately in order to wait endlessly until the local-made unreliable coronavirus vaccines is available which consequently results the terrible death of hundreds of Taiwanese now unnecessarily due to the recent worst coronavirus outbreak in Taiwan , all thanks to the foolish Tsai president who is the main culprit forcefully pushing for the local made coronavirus unnecessarily so this immoral culprit should step down immediately for indirectly killing of hundreds of innocent Taiwanese as well as for causing the loss of Taiwanese's tax money of over 7 billions US dollar in the name of coronavirus stimulus package for her world-record ignorance as well as for her world-record foolishness to insist with the local-made unreliable coronavirus vaccine which most Taiwanese have no trust upon, maybe the recent terrible death of hundreds of innocent Taiwan due to the outbreak might not be enough for her world-record foolishness.

Most people in Taiwan can't afford the very expensive taxi ride so for the sake of the benefit of most people in Taiwan, Taiwan government should immediately allow Grab, etc to operate in Taiwan so most people in Taiwan would be able to enjoy cheap rides in Taiwan again just like in Asean countries and consequently people would be grateful to the government for siding with the people instead of the rip-off Taiwan taxi mafia.

Birth rate in Taiwan is falling out of control now, thanks to the current sick government.

The rice price has been skyrocketed over 150% since 2016 from about 20 Taiwan dollar per kilogram to over 50 Taiwan dollar per kilogram now while India is selling rice for merely 10 Taiwan dollar per kilogram to Asia countries recently.
So the rice price in Taiwan is 400% more expensive than the current export price of India.

A chicken rice set meal at 7 Eleven convenient store in Thailand is just about 30 baht or 26.77 Taiwan dollar but the similar chicken rice set meat at 7 Eleven convenient store in Taiwan cost a whopping above 70 Taiwan dollar.
7 Eleven convenient store in Taiwan used to be cheaper where a chicken rice set could be purchase at 50 Taiwan dollar until 2016 but this offer is no longer available under the current sick government.

The city bus fare has been doubled under the current sick government as well and it's worst for location between Xindian, New Taipei City and Taipei where even if taken just for 3 bus stops, one shall be ripped off for 30 Taiwan dollar for bus fare under the current sick government unlike never seen before.

Throwing rubbish is the greatest pressure all Taiwanese have been suffering until now unlike Singapore , etc where Singaporean have no pressure throwing the rubbish as rubbish bin is available at every building in Singapore unlike in Taiwan where Taiwanese have to chase the rubbish car twice daily shamefully in order to eliminate rubbish.
The current sick government has done nothing to eliminate this pressure for Taiwanese until so far.

Restaurant food price has been skyrocketing rapidly under the current sick government for at least 30%.

Going to the supermarket to purchase meat and vegetable is no longer convenient for all nondrivers as plastic bag is banned from using in the supermarket under the direction of the current sick government unlike in Japan where plastic bag is offered for free at every supermarket.

So the current sick government is the root cause and the culprit of causing birth rate falling rapidly unlike never seen before because this sick government contributes more inflation and inconvenience to all Taiwanese comparing to all of the previous government before.

Are there any houses in Taiwan? I wanna live there when I grow up. I am actually from that place and is wanting to go back soon. I was wondering how much the houses cost in Taiwan like a house with 3-4 bedrooms in it. I know there are because my grandparents but I was just wondering. For those who want to go visit Taiwan, here are some heads up. You must change your money because their currency has a bigger number to it. Taiwan is pretty crowded but its really fun there. When visiting a beach, the water is warm during the summer. I don't know about the winter but I'm sure that if you go during the summer or with your family, Please wear some sunscreen or your body is going to be really red. Also, If you are moving there, If you're American and you are working somewhere in Taiwan, You will be able to take your child to a certain school for those American Children who are in Taiwan and are fluent in English (It doesn't matter if you aren't just as long as you have a American Citizenship), You're child will be able to get into the School. Alright that's all I got. A child ain't got a big brain. (and yes I am a child). Have a good day and Stay Safe during the Virus! God Bless ya'll!!

We lost our two sons one daughter and 5 close friends to covid19 so far.

There isn't any forgetting or forgiveness.

What the Chinese government and citizens of China did was just cold blooded heartless murders on a global scale as the comments on Jan.5 2021 stated.

China did well under Zhang Zemin but under Xi China has gone downhill and is going downhill fast. China peaked in reputation, growth, economy during 2008. With Xi in charge all the growth and progress has stopped and going backwards

Chinese troops caught a cold when trying to invade India territory due to weather plus China isn't any match for India military and Japan is quite capable of destroying China on its own and that's a fact because other countries stepped in to ask Japan not to kill everyone in China many years ago.Vietnam handed China their az when China tried to invade Vietnam.Then there's Russia finished with chinanese government bs.Its not U S governments decision to act on China aggression but it's the U S military that determines the outcome only.The world knows the U S military is the most deadly on the planet.All the U S military is waiting for is for China to make the grave mistake of firing the first shot towards the U S then there'll be nothing living in China.There are over 15 countries against China now and the list gets bigger everyday. Xi's father was run out of his office in government many years ago. Xi went into hiding working at a pig farm in a remote area area of China many years ago.The world is looking right down china's throat just waiting for China to do something really bad and then China will be hot ashes.

Humm so many ccp members trying to push their narratives upon Tsia through this site.

Though the traitor Tsai is the president of ROC government in Taiwan, this traitor has no whatsoever respect and loyalty to the ROC Constitution and the traitor's intention is clearly to destroy the ROC government sooner or later so as to announce Taiwan as an independent country.

Traitor Tsai is the main reason why Taiwan might be attacked very soon by China or else no war is expected for Taiwan for the next 100 years.

Trump is out at the end of this year and China is coming for revenge only upon the most hateful traitor Tsai and roast the traitor Tsai alive until her death to appease its anger.

Butchering of the Traitor Tsai by China is not important for all Taiwanese but people in Taiwan should not suffer for the sake of the wicked, moron traitor Tsai which is nothing more than a dog in Taiwanese's eye as the traitor Tsai is making the people's life harder by forcing to pay inhumane tax for each and individual chopstick, spoon, box of takeaway food unlike never seen in human history and the fare of city bus was also raised double under her administration, etc.
The traitor Tsai shall surely go to hell for causing suffering and unnecessary pressure and burden to all Taiwanese unlike never seen before during her administration after China roasts her alive to death.

Average monthly net salary over 47K NT (after tax)? Where did this figure came from?
Uni graduate barely making 30~40K NT/month (before tax).

I agree asw ell in Taipei the average for a semi decent meal is 150 NTD these days. Inflation.

The Taipei rent listed here is wildly inaccurate. Please show me where to find a 1 bedroom apartment for $16K that fits the conditions listed: central, modern, and good condition. Maybe people are interpreting the question to mean 1 bedroom rented in an apartment with roommates, because that’s the only way this makes sense.

Chinese lies exposed for all the world to see.

Is Taiwanese an ATM machine to be fined with whatever unreasonable amount by the Taipei government ?

According to a recent news, a Taiwanese left his quarantined hotel room in Taipei to travel to abroad but was fined with a whopping 1 million NT dollar unreasonably for leaving his quarantined hotel room.

Taipei hotel is well known to be expensive comparing other cities, such as Kuala Lumpur, Osaca, etc.
And the aforementioned person is a Taiwanese, not a tourist so he should have a house in Taiwan so should be quarantined in his home in Taiwan instead in order to save the burden of the expensive hotel room cost in Taipei for a whopping 2 weeks stay.

Taiwanese should be well treated with respect and fiarness according the way of democracy so Taiwanese should not be targeted for ripoff especially by their government or else where is law and justice for Taiwanese?

Government servents such as the culprit vice mayor should not abuse power given by Taiwanese people to add unreasonable burden to Taiwanese such as the aforementioned victim Taiwanese. If home quarantine were not allowed by the government for Taiwanese, government should bear the cost of all other types of quarantined methods.

The Taipei government is very inconsiderate of the burden of the returning Taiwanese by not arranging a home stay quarantine for the aforementioned Taiwanese so the seemingly lawless vice mayor of the Taipei government should take a responsibility by resigning immediately for her foolish action of badly harming the well-being and interest of the aforementioned Taiwanese.

Taiwan is a wonderful place with a great society and very competent government and health system.

Please everybody believe the spiteful virus infected Chinese 50 centers comments below , don't come here . :)

Taipei ranked top city for living worldwide by expats ...
