Out of quarantine in Taipei, so far so good, living in a new section of a suburb in New Taipei city (Linkou), gorgeous train across the street, always a seat) - it's the airport express line so posh seats on express trains, all for HK 20 dollars. Huge box stores everywhere, biggest Ikea I have ever been in, including the US. Super posh 3BD 2BA for about 10,000 HKD brand new. Separate garage just for bicycles and scooters, other entrance and different floors for cars. MRT so clean and great coverage, bus trips are about 4HKD can go far. Pretty easy life so far, great food super cheap. Friendly, helpful people...only downside so far has been a bad haircut- a guy recommended by expats but cut my hair crazy short- upside is no need for a haircut for at least 4 months...
Bought a new emotional support hamster after the bad haircut (pre-ordered posh cage). Was going to be Fei Bo 2 but we are going with Mei Mei, hope it's a girl.
I could get used to this...but will never take it for granted...
