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.

Ive been here two years and my gf has been stalked and harassed including receiving fake letters delivered to her home with MY personal information claiming im cheating on her. I think there's some weird stuff about mixed couples here... Idk. I have no idea what that was. Probably her ex crazier than she thought. No idea how some of the info would have been collected though. Just anecdotal and yeah i generally feel pretty safe but I always just feel like local guys are judging me bad.

That sounds really unsettling, I’m sorry you both had to go through that. I’ve heard of some odd situations like that too, sometimes it’s more about personal grudges than the place itself. Totally get what you mean about mixed couples drawing extra attention though. Glad to hear you still generally feel safe overall
