More dumb Taiwanese propaganda.

Thanks for the helpful answer. It looks like I will be sent to China tomorrow, and I think I will simply have to give it a try - hit or miss... But according to the information I was able to find so far, just rock up with a ticket and passport at the airport and go You'll be fine. A friend of mine ...

As said, it works with foreign cards, but not with local cards yet. Same in Vietnam, in Saigon I saw many tourist hipsters pay with their phones at the minimarts.

I know Gary Smith. Seems like he's lost the plot. He needs emergency treatment. Can't someone get him to the embassy? How would you get him there? Based on what we've seen here, the recalcitrant git would fight you kicking and screaming if you tried. He's an adult who hasn't been declared incompete...

@Kung-fu Hillbilly sounds great, all the best for your relocation to Ubud! You've mentioned visiting an visa agent - could you elaborate on the visa situation for longer stays, please?

The Taiwanese cannot be trusted. Beware.

Clearly his brain is damaged even more than his leg.

With those fuck-ups who go off the rails in faraway countries, it's a shame that there's no way to send them back home, put their passport through the shredder and be done with their shenanigans once and forever.
