This is illegal in Taiwan, but not enforced in Kinmen. Traffic safety is awful. The police will not investigate traffic incidents and people responsible are not held accountable. This county is not female-friendly. Women are expected to marry and have children/ be seen and not herd. Don't be deceived by female school principals and county official. They have no authority over the men in lower ranks. Pollution today is

Cycle or hike in the quote-unquote national park north of the city for marshes, dengue fever, junkyards, stray dogs, and massive concrete jetties obstructing ocean views.

A mountain to climb, a beach to go to, and trains and buses readily available to go to surrounding outdoor activities. Cons: English speaking is not great, but the locals are. And even if you don't speak Mandarin they will do their best to help you. Plenty of English speaking doctors, dentists etc. Most restaurants have a double menu. So it's not that big of a con and there are many classes that will h

Cafe + Gym + Bar all in one, monthly membership about $50 USD. English-friendly, no contracts. Made my 3 month stay here immensely better with fast wifi in the cafe and it's a great feeling to be able to work out immediately after working.

I am here a few times a year. I have been in 20 countries in Africa and would say it is the most friendly one. Kampala is definitely a lot of fun and has good restaurants and the rest of Uganda is beautiful too. I host several times a year coworking and co-living experiences for digital nomads in Uganda. You are more than welcome to join us.

Something about New Orleans always brings me back. Such a unique and one-of-a-kind place that while has gotten more expensive over the years, still is far more affordable than many places in the US. A lot of cheap good fun to have here and some amazing food. I will admit your safety factor will depend heavily on the area you're staying at.
