Rules in force · 8Older streets have covered arcades with parked scooters a…

East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
Taiwan ↗Check visa-exemption length, passport validity and the online arrival card (TWAC) on the official sites before you fly.
Taiwan ↗An EasyCard (or iPASS) covers MRT, buses, local trains and many convenience-store purchases; buy one at the airport or a station.
Taiwan ↗When a local government declares a typhoon day, transport and sights can close for the day; follow the official notice, not the forecast alone.
Northern Taiwan ↗The north coast and Jiufen are wet for much of the year; carry a compact umbrella and do not plan a sunset view around clear skies.
Taipei ↗Older streets have covered arcades with parked scooters and stalls: large suitcases go from the car or MRT exit to the door, not along the arcade.
Taipei ↗The MRT stops around midnight; after that use taxis and the Uber app. Check the last train before dinner.

Portions and sharing

Sit at any free seat; sharing tables is normal.

Extras, condiments and what costs extra

Vegetarian food (素食) is easy to find at Buddhist vegetarian buffets; say “wo chi su”, and ask if there is garlic or egg if you avoid it.

Paying and tipping

Sit-down restaurants: about 10%, less than the 15–20% US norm.

Pay and take your ticket; a server brings the food to a table.
No tipping; prices are on the menu board.
Cash.
Tipping: Not expected; a 10% service charge is added in many restaurants.
Carry small notes and coins: most stalls are cash only.
Order at the counter, pay first at small shops, and return the tray or bowl if there is a stack.

At the table

Do not stick chopsticks upright in rice or pass food chopstick to chopstick.
Look for a busy stall with a short menu; a queue of locals is a good sign.
