The GF and I are starting to think about our next steps. A month from now our commune will be dissolved (thank heavens) and we are considering where to go for our final month in Taiwan (however, however). The current frontrunner is Taitung, a sleepy southern town in beautiful countryside. And after that remains a question, as it will depend on which countries open their borders, both to flights (preferably without a mandatory 14 day quarantine) and to visa-free entry. It’s not looking great, though better than a month ago. This is the current flight departure board for Taoyuan airport:
Options certainly seem limited. The countries where a limited number of flights are still going appear to be (from a quick check of flight departures): Indonesia and the US (not interested), China (possibly, but will need a visa), and Japan and Korea (both have suspended visa-free entry so we will have to apply for visas in advance, in circumstances where countries are reluctant to give visas. Hopefully some more will open up in the coming weeks.
In Europe countries are planning to open up to restart tourism, so that is a possibility – we’ve long thought it would be nice to live for a bit in Sicily which we visited together and really enjoyed. But how to get there?
