Do I want to go to Taiwan? Yes. Am I flying something called Starlux airlines? No. Holding out for United or EVA
Can't believe you just put United and Eva in the same category. I flew United to Japan and it was no comparison to any of the Asian airlines I flew.

Quote from optimustarzan :
I just got back from Taiwan 2 days ago. Firstly, it's Taipei, not Taibei. Although it's technically pronounced Tai Bei in Mondrian. I stayed in a clean ass 3 star hotel in Tai-Chung for $90 a day. Had a separate tub and shower along with free breakfast. Its called the "Stay Hotel." Yes this was in Tai Chung so I can't comment on Tai Pei prices. But I took a 30 min Uber ride in Tai Pei to Tai Pei 101 for $10! I took multiple Ubers in Tai Peit for $5-15. Everything is cheap AF compared to the US. If you make at least 50K you'll feel rich!

At the street vendors, we ate breakfast for 3 for $9! Lunch and dinner can be had for $10 or less. At more upscale locations near Taipei 101, we ate for 4 for $100. Note $100 is for quality fresh seafood and multiple alcoholic drinks, which would have cost double in the US.

Also note that only capital one and Discover have zero international transaction fees. Therefore, you must exchange cash to be safe. I took $1000 USD, exchanged to 30,000 NTD for 3 weeks and it lasted with $100ish left over.

I am originally from Taiwan but left at 5 years old. This is not a poor country. You'll see rich ass ppl and multiple Bimmers and Teslas and numerous skyscrapers etc. Everything is cheaper than anywhere in the US, except realestate. An 800sq feet 1 bed, 1 bath apartment in Taipei will cost about $600k. Food is excellent. Make sure to visit night markets with street food vendors. You can numerous things for $1 or $2 USD.
This is not true, many other cards have zero foreign transaction fees (Chase Sapphire and Amex platinum for example). Unless I'm missing something, are international transaction fees something else?

Only capital one and discover have zero fx fees? If you're talking about credit cards almost any credit card that has an annual fee doesn't charge your foreign transactions fees… Citibank chase etc

Why? You think that there are lots of single women just waiting to meet you? Maybe Cambodia would be a better choice.
That's sorta what I am thinking. Are you saying that's not the case? Experience?

Costco Citi Card, Amazon Prime Card... these have zero annual fees and no foreign transaction fees.
The travel credit cards show up on many sites as these sites get paid by many of these annual fee based cards.
They won't list other cards with no foreign transaction fees as they don't make money from them.

After some high profile incidents in the last several years, expect to get the cold shoulder.

Also: Credit for the honesty I guess, but ew.

Alliant Credit Union and Citizens Bank both issue credit cards (Visa and Mastercard respectively) with no annual fee and no foreign transaction fee. If you have an iPhone, Apple Card is also an option as it has no annual fee or transaction fee.

I've got 3 random cards in my wallet, all of them have NO fees..

The Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi does not have foreign transaction fees on purchases.

Both of those cards do require a membership… though the Amazon Rewards Visa does not, and also doesn't have an annual fee or foreign transaction fees.

Honesty is a good thing. You can't always be honest and satisfy ignorance at the same time. The cold shoulder in other countries is not uncommon. Cold shoulder in other states happens

Not me, just from a single friend that is into this type of activity. Thailand was his favorite - three there. Brazil was his most recent fun trip.

Thanks. I have a couple of friends that have moved to Thailand. They are very happy with their decision so far. It's definitely on the probably will list.

Tell me you know nothing about aviation without telling me you know nothing about aviation.

You want them to land in a cross wind? Shows they have careful pilots, that is a plus for me
