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.

Breakfast at the hostel is good and a nice place to relax




someone didn't like the traffic camera

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.
Thanks so much for sharing this FR!
I have read many FRs on this very popular route (and on very many different airlines), and I'm pretty sure Cathay Pacific is not as good as the competitors. Not saying its an absolute downer, of course! :D
Lovely pictures from Hong Kong, Taipei and the flight itself!
Cheers!
I'm doing the China airlines A350 soon on this route :)
