I'm in Taiwan for the first time. Slight ATM issue in that none of the ones I've seen provided English as a language to use. I couldn't be bothered waiting for an actual bank to open up the next day. Thought about googling a travel exchange place but the idea of using my card there didn't appeal. I did find an ATM that had instructions in English but it was for foreign currency withdrawals
Hong Kong dollars and other currencies. I would have needed to find someone to change it to TWD. In the end I think I chose Korean as a language and used the Waygo app to translate from Korean to English to work my way through the instructions. You know there's a PIN number in there somewhere then type in how much you want to withdraw. I got there in the end!!!
And then I went to TGIF and used Apple Pay
I'd had enough navigating for one day.
Had time to take a screen shot of what I was doing. I laugh at myself cause it just seems so random to do
But hey if it works and gets me what I need then I'm all in!
I used the klook app to pre order an easy card pre-loaded to pick up on arrival at TPE. Used Apple Pay to ride the AirPort Express and easy card for bus tap on/off payments.
