Travelling to new places and exploring faraway destinations makes you understand that there is so much in the world that you haven't seen. Take, for example, Taiwan. The East Asian country welcomes tourists with a vibrant blend of cultural heritage and modern marvel. Bustling night markets, picturesque mountain trails and tranquil temples come together, offering an unforgettable experience. But why are we talking about Taiwan all of a sudden? Well, travel vlogger Tiff has shared a video on Instagram, highlighting an unusually interesting aspect of the destination's metro services.

The clip opens to a text layout revealing that Taiwan "is the only place in the world where you can use" anime-themed cards or keychains as your metro pass instead of the "basic plastic" ones. Yes, we are not kidding. Tiff appears to be a fan of Ryomen Sukuna, a fictional character in the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen. So, it was not a surprise that she used Sukuna's finger keychain as her metro pass. " I was extra impressed with the packaging that looks like it came straight from the show," she admitted in the caption. The video then shows her scanning the eerie keychain on the automated fare gate. Surprisingly, the gate opens, and she enters the terminal.

"Metro cards and keychains can be found in any convenience store in Taiwan. They can be used at any metro station or bus and can even be used for convenience store purchases and storage lockers!" explains the travel vlogger. Next, she steps inside one such shop where an array of anime-inspired passes and quirky keychains are hung on multiple counters.

The internet was quick to react to the post.

"Cool! How much is this btw?" asked an intrigued user.

"Oh man, I need one," exclaimed another.

Many dubbed Taiwan the "coolest" destination.

"The way they wrapped the finger with the tag is so cool," noted an individual.

"This brings me so much joy," shared an anime-lover.

"Normalise this everywhere please," requested someone else.
