I've been living in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for about two weeks now and all I can say is: so far, so good.
I could really get used to this! …I better, since I'll be here for at least a year.
Here are some of the reasons why Kaohsiung is such a great place to live:
1)Taiwanese people are so modest, polite and always willing to help.
Although, I could look like the typical Taiwanese and have been told that I might be allegedly 'tricking people with my inability to speak mandarin (ha ha ha),' pretty much every person I've encountered has tried to help me or has passed me on to someone who might be of better help (aka a better English better).
I have met a few people who have 'demonstrated' an understanding for English but I think more people have a basic competency in English than one would initially have been lead to believe. Taiwanese modesty just prevents them from floundering in a language that they're not fully fluent in.
Here is one of the friendly faces you might find in Kaohsiung: a local, happy to welcome us to his restaurant on a sunday afternoon.
