振康 Zhen-Kang @taiwanquest.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Appreciate the inclusion of PPP charts. Coming from New Zealand, I am impressed at how much better a life a minimum wage worker can have here in Taiwan (in relative terms). But of course that doesn’t negate all the issues around income distribution. Excellent article, thank you. 000

振康 Zhen-Kang @taiwanquest.bsky.social · 18/07/2026That’s so interesting. I hadn’t thought about the tattoo angle; I feel they’re so normalized here it hadn’t occurred to me they might feed into profiling. I only have one visible tattoo but perhaps it too will reinforce gangster stereotypes :) 110

振康 Zhen-Kang @taiwanquest.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Yesterday I calculated how much money I spent during an ordinary day in Taiwan. I spent NT$1000 (half of this was paying my phone bill).
