FYI
Taiwan is renowned for its safety, offering a secure environment for residents and visitors alike. A notable example of this is how Taiwanese feel comfortable leaving their cell phones and wallets unattended on café tables while briefly stepping away. BUT, I would suggest taking your belongings with you or asking someone you trust to watch over them while you use the restroom. Also, it is generally safe for women to walk alone after 23:00 in Taiwan due to the countless 24-hour convenience stores and the CCTV cameras. Plus, we have a relatively low number of homeless individuals, drug addicts, or drunk people. Even the street dogs are very friendly.
