    Hang in There, Kogasa-san 1988

    It's not as if 100 yuan is that much of a ripoff for what'd be a 30-minute walk, though. (^^;)

    Still though, I could eat quite a bit for around 30 yuan, so if it's okay to eat 100 yuan worth, I'll walk! :-)

    In Taiwan, they don't use yuan, they use New Taiwan Dollars. At least in 2008 when I last visited Taiwan.

    NT$100 = $3.06 ~= 333 yen = 20 yuan. So not much, unless Kogasa-author is referencing Chinese yuan.

    I think he's confused by it, or the translation was. It's still NTD, at least according to Google.

    Still do, but everyone calls them yuan. Sort of like referring to US dollars as bucks or British pounds as quid.

    That's more or less it. The original Japanese uses the term 元, which in this context means "yuan". There's no differentiation for NTD here.
