2. Safety

※ Staying Safe

Make sure that you need to have an official ID such as the passport with you always.

Avoid leaving your backpack, computer, purse, suitcase, or wallet unattended in a public

place.

If you plan to travel, find directions before leaving. It is better to ask a bus driver

or shopkeeper for directions than from strangers. If you must walk alone, know where

are going and look confident. If you must take a taxi, let your friends know the taxi’s

number and keep your cell phone to stay in contact. If you want to drive a car or a

motorcycle, a driver license is required in Taiwan. The legal age for having the driver

license is 18.

You do not have to give money to street people; if you choose to give, avoid

opening your wallet or purse on the street. Also, when you go to withdraw cash from

ATM, be sure to cover the pin number when typing it.

Call 110 if you experience an emergency or have been the victim of a crime.

Call 119 for the fire-extinguishment or the ambulance.

※ Alcohol & Tobacco

In Taiwan, the legal drinking and smoking age is 18. According to Taiwan’s law, it

is highly forbidden to drink before driving. Smoking or drinking alcohol is prohibited

in all the buildings in NCKU campus.

※ Other Drugs

Drugs such as Marijuana (pot or weed), magic mushrooms, ecstasy (E), cocaine,

heroin and the likes are illegal and possession of them can lead to a penalty inclusive of

staying behind the bar. These drugs will cause serious harm to your physical and

psychological health, resulting in learning impairment. You should refuse them if you are

offered with these drugs.
