Cost of Living in Taipei City, Taiwan

Here's the monthly breakdown for living in Taipei City: About 450usd rent (small single apt., washing machine, balcony, security), 20usd for unlimited 4G cell phone, 50usd for toiletries (toothpaste, hair stuff, etc), 40usd travel via MRT, bus, and anywhere between 300-400usd for food that's decent... so, I would say about $1200usd (+/-) for everything. Now, that's not including extras such as drinking, party, etc. The tax is cheap in Taiwan (7-20%), so you be the judge. If you have a basic teaching job... 15hrs/week covers the basics...

Hello. Question. Are you allowed to vape? I am coming there and hearing conflicting stories. I figure you are the best source. Thanks.

[@LedZippo99]

Wait the food’s pretty expensive

[@LedZippo99]

I guess you could cut the food costs in half like maybe 10 or 15 dollars a day but... I like to eat well..

I live on 500 dollars a month. Stop splurging so much.

[@LedZippo99]

I'm guessing you have to cut a few corners... I'm talking from the like 'decent apartment, unshared ..not just a basic shared one ...also estimating on the higher side

@@LedZippo99 You even said it in the video, if you want to eat well. I think cost of living still destroys cost of living in Canada and the US. It's quite similar to the cost of living in Brazil.
