Description

Taiwan has always been an attractive place to study and work.

In fact, long before Mainland China became an option for Westerners, Taiwan was the place to study Chinese and work in a Mandarin Chinese speaking environment.

As the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.) gained economic and political strength in the world, Westerners naturally gravitated toward this new market.

Language programs and jobs for Westerners flourished.

In the past decade there has been a renewed interest in Taiwan.

This is undoubtedly due to a dramatic increase in cost of living in the P.R.C., increasing government regulation and scrutiny of foreigners, the increased political tension between China and the West, and generally the increasing difficulty doing business and studying in China in a free and fair way.

In recent years Taiwan has once again emerged as an attractive place to study, work, and live.

Taiwan offers a free, open, and safe environment that is welcoming to outsiders.

While the cost of living in Taiwan’s big cities is about the same as the big cities in Mainland China, it is much easier for a foreigner to navigate than in China.

This book provides a practical, up-to-date, hands-on guide to navigating life in Taiwan.

It is not a travel guidebook, but rather provides detailed information for the foreign resident in Taiwan, whether they be studying or working.

It provides a wealth of information covering everything from renting apartments, taking care of your daily needs, what and where to eat, to Taiwanese work ethic and business culture, how to make the most of your study of Chinese, how to get around, and so on.

The book is illustrated with relevant photos that contextualize the text, and enhance reader’s understanding of the information.
