Taiwan is a friendly country. So this is how i live, in dormitories. $200 a month salary isn't much so i appreciate your youtube likes and comments very much :)
I was lucky to get upgraded from a 9 bed dorm to an 8 bed, basically there was a mattress missing but they did say they upgraded me :D

1st night i woke up to everyone's bad breath because the Air con offcourse doesn't bring in fresh air, i think some models do. And some people don't think about mixing some hot air from outside via the window. It can't hurt to add a bit of oxygen to the mix.
A bit like how some people just keep windows shut through winter but never allow a little bit of air through and that's why we get colds i think.
That's the only drawback to living like this.
I usually mix it up with some air bnb private room in a house like in Japan i had the owners room and that was £10 a night.

I will be going on the Cathay A350 flight next week so please subscribe to my youtube.

In Taipei airport they hae a 30CM rule on tripods which other airports like helsinki, hong kong, dublin, manchester don't have so i had to go out of security and package my tripod in a box for £3. the box was like 300% bigger than the tripod but i guess cathay let me check in 2 items then for free? do they normally charge economy passengers if it becomes 2 pieces?

Seating was comfy, the food was nice, i thought they'd come round with a soft drinks service but they give you a lemon tea.
