RE: Top 3 Excuses by Japanese Employers When They Ignore Contractual Obligations to Foreign Employees (Notes from Under the Tatami Mats–29 … My Adventures in Japan)
I almost moved there in 2008, after I applied for a job in Taipei. But I had a better job offer in Singapore, so I went to Singapore instead.
However, I did a bit of research into Taiwan, and came away quite impressed.
Also, I had one student in Japan who was from Taiwan. I used to joke with her that Taiwan was not the "real China." But she convinced me that it was realer than the PRC, since Taiwan had never destroyed its heritage and culture with any insane "Cultural Revolution." Since then, I've been a bit more intrigued by the country.
That student got it right but if you came here you would find quite a few Taiwanese who would tell you that Taiwan got nothing to do with China and got its own culture, those people got brainwashed by one of the two main political parties...Anyway yeah Taiwan is more Chinese than China but most Taiwanese, no matter which political party they support, don't want to be part of China.
If you get tired of the place you are living in now, come here, Taiwan is definitely one of the best choices...
