The reasons why I live in Taiwan as an Expat for 10 years

[@JonathanFrazer-qm1oc]

I really enjoyed this. Learning the language is the biggest barrier.

You make a fantastic tour guide for this beautiful country ~

I recently went to visit for 2 weeks and literally fell in love with this country. The people are genuinely so kind and friendly. I just wish I spoke mandarin :(

It's a lot better than Saigon where I live now. Can you pls recommend an area to stay in Taipei if you are a newcomer?

[@anelynheart537]

Hi. Can you give advices or tips to effectively live a life there for 10 years?

I am considering moving to Tw (currently in Vietnam where -shockingly-I teach English), but I lack some credentials to get work easily. Any tips on how it would work out? Does anyone here in the comments have the capacity to compare those two countries as an expat?

[@rgasta7765]

@@stevefrench7036 Hi Steve, I am also considering getting out of Vietnam. What credentials are you missing to teach English in Taiwan? Why u want to move out of VN?

[@stevefrench7036]

@@rgasta7765 Hey there, thanks for the reply. Well I haven't got a Bachelor's (doing one online but it's gonna take a while). I do have TEFL and a bit of experience but that's about it... Well Vietnam is super noisy and crowded. The people are nice and generous individually or up close but the overall collective behaviour when driving or in a crowd is sometimes.... tiresome.

My girlfriends family lives in Taiwan. Near Taipei. I have no college degree, and cannot speak the language fluently. I have only just begun to learn it. I can only say some common phrases. Realistically, what can I do to permanently move here? I have to. And failure is not an option. Can someone PLEASE offer me guidance. I am from the US, and have no interest in returning once leaving. Thank you for any and all help.

[@WalterBenda1983]

Moin! Can you drive like 40-50km with a bike safely or is the chance of being run over too high? And is it nicer than just highway concrete walls? Do local ppl mix with foreigners when doing sports like soccer or basketball? May you have a great time!

I think you're confusing with "Taipei" with "Taiwan". Many of the great things you list about Taipei are difficult to find in much of the rest of the country. My wife comes from Yunlin, and staying there feels like being in a different world from Taipei. Also, starting around 09:00 you call Chiang Kai-shek the "father of Taiwan" who "made Taiwan become independent", which is patently ridiculous. Chiang Kai-shek was a brutal dictator who was responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Taiwanese. His KMT government brutally suppressed any calls for Taiwanese independence.

Sun yat sen overthrew the last dynasty of China and established the rep of China

[@steveh4114]

ROC, Republic of China ! Mostly enjoyed your video, but it may lack some context of the ROC founded in 1908, and moved to Taiwan in 1949. So SYS was a founding member of the ROC on the mainland until his death in 1925? CKS was a military general in the ROC (later dictator?) that moved the ROC govt. to Taiwan after it's defeat in a civil war with the communists, 1945-1949. And after CKS's death in 1975, the ROC in Taiwan became more open, democratic and maybe a quasi Republic.

Compared to Singapore, Hongkong, Korea, Taiwan has low skilled expats. I don't know why.

[@marcuschen786]

Because Taiwan salary is fucking low

[@marcuschen786]

And right now Taiwan is more like a refugee camp for those low skilled English teachers

[@huangjacqueline9581]

It is mostly because of the immigration policy. Taiwan is a lot less open to permanent or temporary immigrants due to the threat from China. It's been changing lately.

[@khersonskiyarbuzkhersonski2460]

The PRC is obliged to de-occupy Taiwan and give it autonomy for 30-50 years, as was the case with Hong Kong.
