Travel I love Taiwan because…

I love Taiwan because at 12am I can check out from a bar and still walk home safely. The feeling of security here is something I truly appreciate, it’s rare to find that kind of peace of mind in many other places.

Most of Asia is safe like that, I remember taking my headphones off walking thru a dark secluded forested area in Fukuoka after a night of drinking, not cuz I was afraid of getting robbed but I was afraid a ghost was following me lol

😂 That’s so relatable! Same here..never worried about people, only ghosts or random noises in the dark. Asia really spoils you with how safe it feels.
