Post new topic

Hello everyone,

Is there anything you wish you had known before moving to Taiwan? For example, transportation, internet speeds, types of housing, aspects of the culture or social life.

In your opinion, what's the most important thing to know about Taiwan?

When would you recommend someone should begin planning their move to Taiwan?

What were the most helpful ways you found to get organised? For example, did you use a checklist, were there any particularly useful websites or apps?

What advice would you give to future expats preparing to move to Taiwan?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla
