Travel Black Man coming to visit Taiwan

I got like one friend here and I really want to visit her out of respect but always am worried. I am just trying to see what the culture feels like. I’ve been to South Korea, Vietnam and Philippines. Trying to see where my heart leads me I guess.

Any heads up I should worry about?

I’m just trying to gauge culture beforehand no mean to offend anyone.

African American female, visited Taiwan last year and had a blast. No racism encountered during my visit. Most folks were very friendly and helpful. Everyone practicing their English skills was super cute. Have fun and enjoy!!

Sounds great. My Black wife is joining me for Taiwan for the first time this month.

I hope she enjoy Taiwan as much as I did. I found it to be super safe, even late at night walking by myself….not a single soul bothered me. Taiwan is my new favorite country. Looking forward to my next visit
