Kayla Cosmos I really hope maybe the USA will improve.

不論妳選擇那裡生活，都祝福妳有美好的人生🎉🎉🎉

The intensive Mandarin courses are NO JOKE! You are not allowed to (officially) work while enrolled and from the schedule I've seen there wouldn't be time to work anyway. You could SO dominate the YT/Social Media space here in TW. Still, Spain.... it's calling you too! How great to have so many options! We feel that each year when we think about renewing our contracts. We can go so many places!! So much more freedom, safety, and security than we would have back in the states. See you out there in the great wide open! ~JB

Welcome back to Taiwan, I just subscribed to follow you🥰

祝福妳，不論你在世界哪個角落，哪個地方居住，祝福妳能夠平平安安，健健康康，快快樂樂。

Thanks for your honest opinions.

Speaking mandarin is easy, but the word is difficult :) normally foreigners learn listening and speaking only, reading and writing take more time to remember~

Taiwan will be your hometown forever Like and hope all your families stay here

There are still a lot of wonderful places to live in in the US and have a wonderful life.

Not sure why people keep telling you where you should go. Home in where YOUR heart is, not anyone else’s. After 39 years in the US, I am seriously debating about moving to Asia. Taiwan is one of the choices since my mom is still there. But also considering Thailand and Vietnam.

❤❤❤ it is ❤️❤️❤️ God bless you amen 🙏

from what i can instantly recall you traversed yilan hualian pingdong taidong kaosiung tainan? taipei taoyuan... and the beloved nantou right? how about yunlin zhanghuan hsinchu and miaoli? the hakkanese areas are less fun though

I think you should definitely check out Spain and study Mandarin more. Life will lead you.

It's ultimately a choice between the known and the unknown. In Taiwan pretty much everything is transparent but other countries may have unwritten rules which makes Taiwan the second best choice for expats just behind Indonesia. As for the risk of war, I would like to point out that no amphibious assaults have been successful since WWII against an active resistance. Secondly, when the entire world was rushing to invest in China and opening their on markets to China, Taiwan was the only country to cancel such effort by China. Thirdly, Taiwan's laws are very business friendly, which helps foreigners start their enterprise without a lot of funding. You can ask Xiaofei (Asher) for tips. And lastly, Taiwan has been working hard to become bilingual. Even if that goal does not completely fulfill itself, one does not need to be fluent in Mandarin or Taiwanese to have a good life in Taiwan because the locals will go out of their ways to understand you and with the help of modern tools, anyone can make a living there.

I think your home will just change as you go through different phases of your life. Taiwan will change as well and so will the rest of the world.

Sounds like you don't have a partner in either place. It really all comes down to that

I feel that there are more and more expats in Taiwan that you can build and have a relationship with comparing to local people due to language barrier. In my opinion the main downside of living in Taiwan is the house pricing being too high. We don't worry about china if wars breakout that could mean WWIII anyway

有你在的地方 都是好地方

😎❤️🇹🇼‼️

I think you should travel more to find your dream home.

💙妳很棒

The best time of my life was in Guangzhou, where I would be now if it wasn't for the political situation.I moved to Taiwan on January 31st and plan on a long-term relationship with this country. I initially hesitated because of the China threat, but then I realized that was the reason I had to come. What better place for Art, Wine, & Anarchy to continue giving a platform to artists than a potentially endangered culture struggling to have a voice in the world. Running from the danger wouldn't make me worth a damn as an anarchist. After just a short time here, I'm starting to think that the US's refusal to recognize Taiwan's independence has less to do with China and more to do with the fact that Taiwan proves that a nation can pay low taxes and still give everyone healthcare; making Taiwan a threat to America's current status quo. It would be equally as tragic for Taiwan to become the 51st state as it would be for Taiwan to join the CCP.

社會風氣是傳統儒家幾千年的理想，但是很少政府會當它一會事。希望美國、整個自由世界大道之行，德蔭萬民，莫使淑女心憂。

Too many what ifs. You'll only regret what you don't do

Kayla, Taiwan would appreciate your staying here and helping it internationalize to the degree you can help. Taiwan needs internationalization to survive in the long term and can use all the help it can get on that. You have a right to consider your happiness and safety as the primary factors. However, please also consider what exactly is it that makes you want to stay and whether those things mean also any obligation to sacrifice some of your happiness and safety. I was born Taiwanese and came back of my own accord to help Taiwan against China, come hell or high water. It was this or joining the Ukrainian military. You have a different relationship with Taiwan and have no moral obligation to stay or fewer emotional ties to make you stay. You must ask whether the Taiwanese people are worth it. Are we worth it, when so many people are so ignorant and delusional enough to support pro-China forces? Sometimes, even I think it’s not worth it, that it’s a lost cause. But I have no choice but to stay to the bitter end if it comes to that because of who I am. You have a choice to stay and help us overcome these delusions and improve the chances by just that much so that it won’t come to the bitter end. If Taiwan can internationalize sufficiently, with sufficient foreign investment and diplomatic and military support from the rest of the world, it may just be able to survive intact as it is. For that, however, it needs more people like you to stay and transform it.

The dating culture is completely doomed in America. Taiwanese men may give you the traditional dating experience while you are getting treated as a 10.😅

Taiwan may have a special place in your mind but at the present it's in facing china's threats and intimidation not only in encroaching its territory but also in the parliament, media and international arenas as well. If I were you I would try European countries, Australia or New Zealand to see if these countries were suitable to settle down. Just let fancy lead you and if after all these trying you still feel Taiwan is the best country for you to put roots then Taiwan still welcomes you to come back. Taiwan is precluded from many international arenas Just because most of the countries comply with china's request. After ww2 the delegates from 48 countries gathered in San Francisco US to sign the Treaty of Peace with Japan. According to the Treaty Japan only gave up the sovereignty over Taiwan but Japan has never transferred the sovereignty over Taiwan to any other country. The right to decide the Taiwan's future reside in 23.5 million of citizens currently living in Taiwan. If I were the leader of an democratic country I would be ranged with other countries to receive Taiwan into international organizations.

有啪啪啪啪嗎?

dilgo khyentse rinpoche ：the nature of mind

不喜歡可以回你的國家

美密西根州爆槍擊！槍手朝公園掃射28槍 至少10人中彈~~看到這種新聞= =你就會覺得還是想留在台灣~真的很猛又來了

Best wishes for you wherever you are

DON'T, go back to taiwan province of China.

Follow your heart

不敢來就不要啦嘛，不要在那邊嘰嘰YY的。有誰稀罕妳？！

white people think the third world is ideal

Philippines is the right country for you. You can speak English and Spanish at the same time. With lovely people and food, I am sure you will definitely love it.

Costa Rica, tropical like Taiwan, Spanish friendly.

Should visit the 20 Spanish-speaking countries in the world if you’re good at Spanish to help you decide

As someone who has lived in Spain for a while, I highly recommend traveling there and checking it out! Spain is such a beautiful country, it has everything! Forests, beaches, mountains, desert, islands- there is something for everyone! The lifestyle and culture is amazing. If it’s a country that you want to check out, I highly recommend sticking around Spain for a few months to get the vibe because it is so much fun here 🥰🇪🇸🤍🌸

謝謝！

加油❤👍

but youre right about the potentially great amount of time investing on language learning, especially the character recognition is an arduous journey, while you can very often get someone willingly talk to you in english in taiwan, or get by with basic oral Chinese

the mormon missionaries, your fellow compatriots learn chinese super fast they even grasp some of the local dialects verily fast, why not go talk to them? maybe at the back of their head is talking to the communist chinese people, thus totally not hesitated at committing fully to chinese

也許未來再回來也是不錯的選擇。

You can do it with learning the language.

does 小琉球 local residents afraid of speaking englsh with you? I guess you have chance to apply for English teacher job in element or high school in 小琉球,just go there show them you are america KZfaqr
