That is why get a light stroller.
Not everywhere is like Singapore.
It is a different culture.
When you go night market and see how they pour their waste, not sure if you will want to eat again.

actually taiwan has a law that new oil must be used everyday for deep frying. they cannot continue using yesterday's used oil. good for taiwanese since they like to eat deep fried food.

Bought Chung hwa telco prepaid 7 days data unlimited with 150nt value.. Recieved 1 sms and 1 short call 2nd day value left 50nt..ask me to top up.. Funny.

I use the Sim card to hotspot to 2 phones.. Lol

Receiving is free one leh... received short call or made short call?

I made short calls of few minutes each. i still have around 50nt unused when i left taipei.

Fwah! So jelly!
Hard to find driver like such!

depends on the driver's personality bah. last year flag a taxi to go up cingjing from taichung hsr. the driver also very good. very chatty, bring us to interesting places in nantou on the way up. bring us to try local fruits sold on the streets.

New water is recycled water.
New oil? Can be anything... Even棉籽油。
How and where they throw those water?
Right into the gutters in front or behind their stores.
That is for most make shift night markets.

I just think user did not hear the extra 100nt free credits which is announced end of call.
Usually it is that part that will be used up first before even the actual 50nt gets drained.

So when they hear 50ntd, they thought only left 50nia, which is not the case.

Lucky you.
But do you know, the bad experience will be cabbing with a driver who chews betelnut/ smokes?
Making a short ride a torture as well.

After each call the Telco will text the remaining balance. I didn't hear how much was left after the call. Hang up and keep the phone in pocket.

water i think they can throw anywhere. but oil got to be recycled. that's why they have a thriving recycling business in taiwan, and this is where recycled oil is sold as new oil by treacherous businessman. haha...
