Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $1,430/month all-in living costs in Taipei (about $800/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 92/100, internet 90/100, and visa difficulty rated "Easy". Night markets are nightly dinner: Raohe and Shilin night markets serve pepper-pork buns, oyster omelettes, stinky tofu and beef noodle soup for $2–4 per dish. Locals queue at the same stalls every night; if there's no queue, skip it. EasyCard rules everything: Buy at any 7-Eleven for NT$100 deposit: works on the immaculate MRT, buses, YouBike share, Maokong gondola, even some convenience stores. MRT to airport runs every 15 min, NT$150. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Taipei city guide.

Jonzy editorial
Da'an for living, Xinyi for shine: Da'an District around Daan Park is the leafy, walkable, café-dense expat zone. Xinyi has Taipei 101 and the corporate towers; Zhongshan is mid-priced and central; Wanhua/Ximending is the youth/nightlife strip.
