Guide to Housing in Taipei

Many come to this thriving international city to work and play, and there is great demand for quality housing. Taipei housing is thus relatively expensive in comparison to most expatiates' home countries, but is cheaper than areas such as Hong Kong and Tokyo.

Most expatriates live in apartment buildings (in Tianmu to the north, in the Xinyi district downtown, and elsewhere), with a small number of free-standing houses in the hilly areas on the city's northern verge (Wellington Heights in Beitou district and Yangmingshan).

Almost all accommodation is rented. An aging one-bedroom apartment might be NT$20,000 per month; a newer 3-bedroom detached home can go for as much as NT$180,000 per month.

Utilities

It is quite easy to get your utilities up and running when you are first setting up. Here are a few pointers

Electricity

Electrical current runs on 110 volts and 60cycles60 cycles. Charges per kilowatt-hour go up with the volume used. Payment is necessary within seven days after receiving the bill, and can be made at the utility company, in person at a local bank branch, automatically by your bank, in person at a post office branch, and even more conveniently, at most 7-11 and other convenience stores.and even at most convenience stores.

Gas

Most buildings have a piped supply of natural gas. There are four gas companies providing natural gas in Taipei City. Payment is required within seven days of any bill, and can be made through the mail or at most local banks and many convenience stores.

Water

The city's water is potable, but tap water should always be boiled before use. Tap-water payments, which generally run about NT$500 per month (NT$5.00 per sqm), can be made at Taipei Bank branches or at any branch of the local water company and at many convenience stores. Taipei is actively pressing for the improvement of its water supply to achieve potable tap water.

Largest calligraphy lesson

On the first day of 2009, the Department of Culture Affairs (DOCA) organized a group Chinese calligraphy session at the Central Culture Park. The participants successfully broke the Guinness World Record for mass calligraphy writing.
At the beginning of the ceremony, President Ma Ying-jeou, along with fifteen political and cultural dignitaries, each wrote a single Chinese character on the stage; all the characters combine to form a 16-word couplet spelling out “Genesis of strokes shed grace on the people; the Chinese character culture spreads over the world”.
For the main event, participants followed the rules for writing proper Chinese calligraphy – from preparing the ink to writing with their ink brushes on the provided paper. Each wrote one Chinese character representing his or her New Year’s wish and resolution; both President Ma and Taipei Mayor Hua Lung-bin wrote the character ”An” to express their hope for stability, safety, and peace.
Witnessed by an attorney, 12,902 participants picked up their ink brushes simultaneously at 1:32 p.m., setting a new record for the world’s largest calligraphy lesson. Among the participants, Chen Yeh Tsai-mei, a 98-year-old senior citizen, attracted much attention; despite being illiterate, the venerable elder drew a circle on her paper, representing the start of a new year and extending her well wishes to all.
The mass calligraphy session is a part of the fifth Chinese Character Festival organized by the City. DOCA’s Commissioner Lee Yong-ping remarked that advances in computer technology have made handwriting skills irrelevant. It is quite unusual to find so many people practicing calligraphy at the same time, making the event even more spectacular and touching, according to Lee.

Honors Top Taipei Public Restrooms

• To honor the staff responsible for maintaining quality public restrooms, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) held an award ceremony on December 2, 2008 to announce the results of its evaluation.
• During the award ceremony, Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin pointed out that the cleanliness of public restroom reflects a city’s success in modernization, since most advanced cities have clean public restrooms. He emphasized that in addition to the effort of the cleaning crew, residents should also take on some responsibilities. He reminded the public to call 1999 if they notice any problems with public restrooms.
• The city government has taken on a proactive role in promoting clean restrooms in recent years, remarked the mayor.
• Beginning in 2002, the city established a 4-level rating system for the cleanliness level of public restrooms. As of the 10,724 public restrooms maintained by the city, 83 percent received ratings of ‘good’ or higher. He said this trend shows that more and more residents are developing good hygiene behaviors and public ethics.
• Expressing his personal gratitude to the janitors responsible for cleaning up the public restrooms, Hau stressed that even though restroom use is a daily routine, most people would not want to take on the job of cleaning the restrooms.
• He praised the janitors for their work, which provides the public with clean restrooms. The mayor handed out the awards to the winners in person and also posed for pictures with the recipients.
• The evaluation committee is comprised of architects, representatives from the Consumer Protection Commission, scholars and environmental protection specialists.
