important part of Taipei, from school

education to all kinds of exhibitions,

performances, lectures etc. It builds up the cultural mindset and helps to preserve the important heritage of

the country.

Charities, NGOs and Foundations are involved in social issue too, and more

than a half of the Taiwanese are into the philanthropy.

The Public Policy

Littering will be fined in Taipei, and all the residents are obligated to use certain trash bags(that you can buy from the supermarkets or the convenient stores) for

their trashes.

According to the Taiwanese law, smoking is not

allowed in any indoor environment.

The famous health insurance allows the residents to access medical care and health care

at a low cost (doctors’ diagnosis with prescriptions as well as the medicine for a

cold is around 5 euros.)

The Need For Improvement

11

The Dilemma:The political situation with

China has put Taiwan/Taipei into the dilemma of whether to be more open or close off to the international market. This problem also cause a

certain amount of tension to the society.

The Wage:It has been more than 20

years since the last raise of the minimum wage. As the housing price in Taipei has become unexpectedly high over the past few years, the

life in Taipei is getting tougher.

The Settlement:People are sometimes too settled, which makes the society lack of significant

progression.

The Everlasting Taipei

The materials inward and the relationships outward:
