It is often to hear people say "the most beautiful scenery in Taiwan is human beings." If you have a chance to live in Taiwan, you will find most of the people here live in good faith and simplicity. For example, when you take a bus, you will often see seventy/eighty year-old humpbacked elderly people, holding crutch, trembling and getting on and off. In this scenario, people in the bus will be very self-disciplined to give way, and even help the elderly to be seated or help them to get off. Bus drivers will have more patience than usual to allow sufficient time for the elderly to get on or off. Although Taiwan's aging population problem is more serious than in Hong Kong, buses are also bumpier than that in Hong Kong, when we retire and relocate here, we should not worry too much about taking bus!

In Taiwan, being able to source local fresh ingredients and cook in your own home is a very enjoyable thing. Taiwan's agricultural products are very rich. In addition to the famous cabbage and pineapple, many other ingredients are available in the markets. It is also a pleasure to buy different kinds of agricultural products in the market. Since most of Taiwan's agricultural products are locally self-supplied, vegetables and meat in the market are both fresh and delicious, and they are cheap, about 1/2 to 2/3 of that in Hong Kong! The markets are similar to those in Hong Kong but indoors. There are also some street vendors in alleyways that often see peasants holding vegetables just harvested in the fields to be put on stalls, like early Hong Kong markets. But they only open in the morning, and they are closed on Monday! Some dusk markets are also a good choice.

Here's a story of a Frenchman selling French sausages in Taiwan. It's very interesting!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q92l-F87ExI

Taiwan's around-the-island railway network is composed of High Speed Rail and Taiwan Railways. They are closely links with all cities, price-friendly, frequent, fast and convenient. If you are planning to live in a metropolitan city such as Taipei, you are strongly advised not to buy a car because public transport here is very convenient and accessible. The MRT system is continuously expanding. Taking Taipei as an example, the airport MRT from Taoyuan to Taipei has been opened in 2017. It takes only 35 minutes from Taoyuan Airport to Taipei Station with a fare of NT$160. Other extensions of the line will be opened one after another. Bus is also very convenient and cheap, with a fare of NT$15 for adult, NT$12 for children, and NT$2 for the elderly (counted by each section). No matter what means of transport, the yielding-seat culture here and the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young are making people feel warm!
