That is a good question and I'm not sure i have the answer.have you checked with your school English teacher.I do know that there are programs involving exchange students for summer ,but i think i would contact your local church.they may sponsor you.BUT you need a school in Taiwan that will have a opening. CONTACT the Americorp program.it's a volunteer teaching ORG. it's our answer to peace corp.Do your research well,and plan ahead.

Student to Taiwan?
Student to Taiwan?
I am visiting Taiwan this summer and I am nervous about going. I'm not sure what to expect or what to do when I get there. I am studying Mandarin while I'm there, but I will have weekends and evenings to do my own thing. What should I do, where should I go, who should I befriend, what should I see? I'll be in Taipei most of the time, but I want to see many more cities. Also, is there a gay community in Taiwan?

Well, Taiwan has the BEST night markets...You should go there because it has the best foods! Remember to exchange your money to NT$( Lots of things are really cheap) There are tons of beggers and stuff FYI Taiwan has BEAUTIFUL landscapes, go and visit the mountians Taiwan has restaurants that are mini four-five course meals that include: soup, main course, desert, coffee/tea/drink I am Taiwanese but I don't live in Taiwan, so I am not sure if there is a gay community there, but I am sure there is Have a great trip! ä¸€è·¯é †é¢¨

hmm, i would disagree with the statement about beggars here. There are people who are street vendors who sell things cheaply, but in my 8 years here I have only been approached by a beggar 2 times, both when I was sitting at an outdoor restaurant. People in Taiwan have more dignity than to beg. The beggars all left to America and Canada. Anyways, if you are in a Mandarin class: bang- friends taken care of. There are OTHER people taking the class too as well as your teachers potentially. Evenings lots of nightclubs. There are gay ones, but I personally dont know where, being happily married and a hetero non-drinker. I believe that you can do some reasearch at taiwannights.com or at taiwanfun.com for that. There is a yearly gay parade around the same time as the big brazilian festival 'Carnivale'. I actually forgot when that is... sigh. Mostly its men wearing womens clothes and chinese lesbians making out in a parade. Insert any stereotype into a generator and you will see it before you in a parade. Check out tealit.com for more articles on life in taiwan and other potential things to do. If you DO get bored at night or run out of money having too much fun, its easy to pick up work teaching english in the evenings usually. Check out the night markets. Check out 101, check out Taroko, Sun Moon Lake, Kenting. Lots to do and see.

oh, don't be nervous. Taiwan is a great place. well, i think u should visit Hsimending, it's a place where u can do shopping, and u can go there very easily by MRT(it like a...subway). and u should also go to YingKe(i'm not sure if i spell it right, u can ask other taiwanese where "鶯æŒ" is) it's a place which is famous of it's porcelain. although YingKe is not in taipei, but u can go there by tram, and it only takes u about half an hour. Tainan is also a nice place where u can visit, there r lot of temples, and the oldest school of taiwan, but the transportation of tainan isn't as convenience as taipei. um...ah-ha! Nantou is also nice. there r the monument of the 921 earthquake. there r still many placese u should visit, like national palace museum and C.K.S. Memorial Hall(Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall)....... About the gay community. i don't have many information of that. but lots of people told me that if u go to 228park in taipei at night along, it's easily to be accosting by gays or lesbian. don't ask me if that's true or not, i've never tried it. so........welcome to taiwan and hope u enjoy the life in taiwan.

Hi, No Worries, you will make friends at your school. You should also get a Youth TravelPass, and peruse this site for more info: http://www.youthtravel.tw/youthtravel/indexMain.jsp You will enjoy the Night Markets and Ximenting in the evenings and weekends . You can get gay info on Taiwan and Asia here: http://www.utopia-asia.com/tipstaiw.htm

You'll find what you need in terms of travel and food here: http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-191501664-taiwan_vacations-i;_ylt=Au5I0N6GVwPIJGdtjRfLzPn8xmoA http://lunchmaniac.blogspot.com/ As for things to do, put up a note on the bulletin board of the place where you're taking Mandarin lessons to find a language exchange partner. If it's in a university, you'll have no problem finding someone who's decent, friendly and helpful. As for the gay community, yes, we do have them in Taiwan. In fact, I know two (one male, one female) who are very active in the community. If you're interested, I'll give you their contact info. They'll sure be glad to show you around. (One of them took English in college so there'll be no language barriers)

first of all congrats. those scores are excellent. but do worry more about your reading and writing of reasoning than ur bio. because subject tests are of little importance next to the reasoning.

How do you think of Taiwan?
How do you think of Taiwan?
I am a college student in Taiwan. I want to ask people who have already known Taiwan or people who haven't heard about Taian. The question of me is: How do you think of Taiwan? You can say something even if you do not know what it is.

I think Taiwan doesn't exist. The real name is China. You better accept it because no one can protect you from the Red Dragon. Not the UN, not the USA, not even the mighty India.
2 :
i love to watch how their politicians fight with each other when having a meeting....Ah Bian is such a disgrace to the country...
3 :
Taiwan to me is mostly known by transsexual and transgender people. Twain makes plastic and Toys. The toughest martial art police force. Never heard of Taian. Think the island is about the same size as Japan
4 :
I think Taiwan is one of the greatest places in the world. The mountains are so nice and cool with lots of fresh rivers that you can swim in. The seafood and the FOOD is one of the best. The people are very friendly and the urban life in the city is so exciting specially at the night markets where the lights are very bright and colorful. I think Taiwan is clean and the people are hardworking and the government is pretty good, the roads and transportation are efficient. The Scooter rides are great specially riding in the mountains and going to hot springs. There is snow in winter and japanese cherry blossoms bloom in spring. There are frequent earthquakes and typhoons in taiwan. Overall very nice. The girls are the hottest in Asia, followed by japanese. As for the boys I would say japanese then korean then Taiwanese
