I lived in Taiwan as well (as a student). It’s been 5 months since I came back to my country and I start to miss Taiwan more and more every day…
I would add to your list many things but most importantly:
– river tracing, mountains, waterfalls. Taiwan is so beautiful. I had a mountain just behind my house, I could go there any time I wanted to, and river trace on weekends.
– the weather and humidity
– the guavas :)
– I even miss cockroaches sometimes, but just a little bit

Haha… All of these are so true
I am Taiwanese and have had live there for 10 years, but now I live in the U.S
And yes taiwanese think white skinned people are very beautiful, that’s why they trat you like a celebrity.
I’m really glad you liked Tawian, I miss it a lot too!

In reply to dee. Taiwan is such a special place and we will always remember it fondly. That's great your son lives there so you'll always have an excuse to visit :-)

I have been to Taiwan twice as my son lives there. I absolutely love it especially MRT. I would love to work there (have ESL) but at 60 years am probably too old to get a job. Also hubby is not interested. Oh to be young and free again.

In reply to Jacqueline. Haha I remember all those scooter rides...one of the things I didn't like at all was the winter rainy scooter drives. But Taiwan is a fantastic place for sure! We miss it often. If we wanted to pursue teaching as a career, we would definitely consider it again! Enjoy Hsinchu for us!!

In reply to A Cruising Couple. The weather is really bipolar right now! Yesterday I scooted to work in a long-sleeve shirt and was sweating by 10am because it was sunny + humid but then the weather changed really suddenly and by noon and it was freezing cold and raining. And of course I did not bring my poncho for the scoot home. We will definitely be in Hsinchu for at least one more school year (I work at the international school in the science park) but after that we just don't know. We really like Taiwan and think it is probably the easiest Asian nation to live in when factoring cost of living/transportation/friendly locals so I think we will be hesitant to leave :)

In reply to Jacqueline. Ah, thanks Jacqueline! We love hearing positive feedback from readers and we're so glad that you've found the blog helpful. How much longer will you be in Hsinchu? Hope you're surviving the extra cold winter I heard it's getting this year!!

This makes me want to move to Taiwan! We’re headed to Europe next, but maybe after that…
