KWEI CHIEH
A decent hostel nearby the train station. One of the first things the staff told us was that in Taiwan it's a policy not to throw toilet paper into the toilet bowl. That's not a problem, until we realized it didn't have an automatic toilet bowl and was not even equipped with a bidet. Do they actually expect people to throw used toilet papers in the basket after pooping and live with the lingering smell and bacteria, germs, etc? I heard that Taiwan government has been educating its people since many years back to adopt a modern toilet culture, which is okay to throw used toilet into toilet bowl for hygiene purpose given that modern toilet papers are all made to be easily dissolved in water. Hope this toilet hygiene awareness will catch on sooner than later in Taiwan. Other than that, I would totally recommend this hostel for its convenience and accessibility.
