Taiwanese favor people from (in order): America, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa (any color acceptable), Western Europe, other whites, people of color.

Additionally, if you have children over 5 or children with handicaps, you should probably think seriously about whether you should come. See my kids page for further details. | A scooter rider collects a ticket. |
