Malaria pills and immunization certificate (World Health Organization approved!)
I took a trip to the big ol' city of Taipei for a travel medicine consultation. In Taiwan, land of national healthcare, you can go to any medical facility, whip out your health insurance card and get some medical attention! I got the yellow fever vaccine and 2 months worth of malaria pills.
Medical consultation + vaccine + pills = 2101 NT$ or 67 US$

do they retouch the pic for you? or do you submit the photo yourself?
it's really amazing that they extend their healthcare to visitors!
UN, "-s & +s?"...is "s" savings?
Jeanette, all the ID photo places automatically add the Asian "gloss over" effect. Even the taxi drivers have it on their IDs lol
And the healthcare inclusion is amazing. I'm so freaking lucky!
+s & -s means
pluses & minuses, of the different (healthcare) systems.
