Singapore-Taipei

With my new phone, I couldn’t do much even I had internet access. Couldn’t log into my mail, couldn’t download apps to my phone, couldn’t create me a gmail account, found some mail that registered without a phone number, couldn’t access my social media, phone box in the garbage …

During the night I was trying to find someone to buy me a ticket online and I would give them cash. Most people would just walk away, and some would make excuses. But I understand it sounds fishy. Finally, I found 3 Indonesian guys. They agreed to help. But they didn’t have enough cash on their cards and had to wait for their friend in Indonesia that would buy a ticket.

Now I had to wait a few hours. At 8 am friend responded and tried to buy a ticket at Scoot, but no luck. The next flight was with China air in the afternoon, 250 SGD. So at least I had one thing solved. I had a few hours before the flight. So I went to the information desk and bought them some sweets (12 €) for all the help they provided. Next, I tried to find Lavania, she was not at work so I left 50 SGD to repay my debt times 2.

At check-in for the flight to Taipei new problems. I needed to provide a ticket that would take me out of Taiwan. I moved to the Scoot desk on another side of the airport. Got a printout of the ticket with stemp and returned back in time for my flight. It was the OK flight with a meal.

The flight was OK, with enough leg space, food, and media. On arrival it was chaotic. The immigration card was challenging without glasses, I should filled it out online or at least on an airplane. Exchange office with a bad exchange rate, 250 SGD. Searched for the Taipei ticket office, but it was closed. Moved to the city by train, 150 TWD.

At the station searched for the Taipei ticket office, but no luck. Some kids were dancing, and homeless people were outside. I ate some noodles for 220 TWD. With a taxi 180 TWD, I moved to the Shanger Hotel, 780 TWD. I had some problems because I had to arrive a day before and my cards were canceled. Borrowed charger for the phone at reception. Finally in my room. After showering, I washed my clothes (drying) and after 3 days I was again in bed.
