Hello i looking to move to Kaohsiung to study. Excluding study expenses how much is a decent monthly budget to have for food, rent, mrt phone etc. is 1600 USD enough?
I'm visiting soon and would like to visit plant markets on Kaohsiung. Is there a cluster or a large garden center within the city?
Hi all, I recently received an offer to do an internship in Kaohsiung for a few months. The stipend is around 12,000 NTD/month.
I’ll be staying in a dormitory supported by the workplace, but I’m not sure yet how much the accommodation will cost me.
I know 12,000 NTD is not a lot, so I wanted to ask: would this be enough to survive in Kaohsiung for basic living expenses (food + accommodation)?
Also, how is transportation in Kaohsiung? Is public transport affordable and convenient for daily commuting?
I’m really excited because Kaohsiung seems like a very nice city, but I’m also a bit nervous since I don’t really have savings right now.
Thank you so much!
Hi everyone,
I’m planning a sudden 10-day trip to Taiwan in late June because my leave just got approved. I’m thinking of spending around 5 days in Kaohsiung and 5 days in Taipei.
Do you have any recommendations for the best areas to stay in both cities? Ideally, I’m looking for somewhere convenient and close to public transport/MRT, since I’ll be relying on public transportation.
Also, if you have any hotel, accommodation, or Airbnb recommendations, I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you!
I found a room and I’m trying to figure out the electricity roughly for budgeting purposes. The rate is NT5/kwh.
The room has its own bathroom, small fridge, and washing machine on the balcony.
Recently renovated. Kitchen and common area expenses are already included in the rent. I am hoping to estimate how much I would be paying for AC and lights. I am from a cold country. I will likely use the AC a lot tbh.
I know everyone’s use will be different. If someone can give an estimate that would be helpful. Thank you.
Are mixed-dormitory in Kaohsiung safe for female solo traveler? What are the pros and cons? I am looking at UNO Backpackers Inn and Master Chitow. Which is the better option? Or could you recommend a better option? Please 😭
Thank you
I am from the Philippines and I am accepted as an exchange student this fall semester. I want an honest discussion on what is NSYSU like?
I will be staying in the dorm on campus. What is the dorm like is it comfortable? Or should I stay in the cheap apartments outside campus?
What are the student friendly options for food around campus?
I will be taking Mandarin classes, are professors nice towards international students?
Are the monkeys aggressive? Do they go inside dorms or bother those who are just chilling in the outdoor?
What is the overall atmosphere of the university?
Thank you!
Im a 30 year old Male traveller from the Philippines🇵🇭. Looking for a place to hangout with locals here in Kaohsiung tonight! I want to know more about you guys!
大家好，我是一個留學生在高雄。在衣服的方面，我已經適應高雄的熱氣。可是我還在頭髮上有一個問題。我的頭髮很輕薄（我是白人）所以我去出完的時候，頭髮變得很汗水的。台灣女生有這樣的問題嗎？ 有辦法解決嗎？還是產品我可以買解決我的問題？
hi everybody, I’m currently studying abroad in Kaohsiung and while I feel like I’ve adjusted to the temperature clothes-wise, I’m still having trouble with my hair. When I go outside, it always gets so sweaty and greasy (I’m white so my hair is pretty thin). Do Taiwanese girls have this problem too? Is there a way to fix it? Maybe a product I could buy?
hellloo! i am an international student who will intern at kaohsiung for 3 months starting from mid-may. this is my first time visiting taiwan (super excited and little nervous too). i would love to meet other international students or locals who are down to explore the city, try food and hang out. if you’re around kaohsiung and open to show a newcomer the city or vibe together let's connect! also, any tips for foreign visitors on getting around the city, must-visit spots, hidden gems, or general life advice for living in kaohsiung would be hugely appreciated. feel free to drop recommendations in the comments or dm me! thank you :)
Hi everyone! I’m an international student staying in Kaohsiung for about two months. I’m a girl in my 20s and I’d love to meet new people here. Maybe there’s other international students or girls who would like to hang out, explore the city, grab coffee, go out, etc.
I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for good places, apps, events, cafés, bars, student groups, language exchanges, or communities where it’s easy to meet people in Kaohsiung. Any tips would be really appreciated :) Thanks!
Wondering if anyone has studied at either of the two places? I would love any feedback. Specifically on teaching styles and verbal practice. I have no experience. Will be starting from zero. I want to feel more confident speaking and listening.
I believe both CLCs offer 1 to 1 study consult/office hours?
How are the demographics? I am in my thirties. Worried I will be the big sister/aunt amount new graduates lol.
has anyone been to this venue for concerts or fanmeetings? am planning to go to this venue but im curious about how the view would be like for vip standing… also wanted to check if there are any venue rules i should take note of!
anyone who have pics or experiences regarding this, please pm or comment!! thank you 🙏🏼
