After 2.5 years both Taiwan and Japan are fully open to independant tourism. In this episode I share more details about requirements upon arrival, particularily for the more complicated procedures for Taiwan. As someone who lived in Taiwan I am very happy for the many businesses who relied and of course benefited from foreign visitors. Taipei was a meeting place almost every weekend for travelers from around East and Southeast Asia. I can't imagine what the toll from the pandemic has left on some of these restaurants, cafes, and markets, if in fact they were able to survive this tragedy.
