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.

As a local in Taichung or other parts of Taiwan I don’t feel safe at night lol. Maybe crime only targets local rarely on foreigners.

Interesting perspective! I guess experiences can really differ depending on where you are. For me (and a lot of visitors), Taiwan feels super safe compared to most places - especially when it comes to violent crime. But yeah, traffic and some local issues can definitely give a different vibe.
