The major job search website for engineer openings in Taiwan is 104, i.e. http://www.104.com.tw But if you're looking to work in a specific industry, like electronics manufacturing which Taiwan is best known for, then you might want to go on each individual website of the big names, e.g. acer, asus, htc, foxconn, auo, etc. They have almost all the current vacancies (located in either Taiwan or China) posted in the career section where you can submit your application too. Let me know if you need further help.
2 :
probably 104.com is the best bet for what you are looking for. You might be able to score a lecturer position teaching engineering courses in English if you are a native speaker at one of the universities with a masters under your belt. You really should try and get on with a multinational manufacturing company in a western country and get sent out to china or taiwan to do the quality control programs at the factories. If you apply in country you probably wont get a cushy well paying job, but more of a drone-like management robot job. It will REALLY help you to have mandarin speaking and some reading/writing, but if you want to deal with only english speakers you will have problems in the manufacturing area, but you might do better in the educational field for operating in English. you can try your luck at tealit.com and at forumosa.com for links to job ads and help wanted stuff. Good luck!

Can I enter Australia with my South African Passport but leaving from Taiwan?
Can I enter Australia with my South African Passport but leaving from Taiwan?
I am currently a citizen of South Africa and Taiwan (By Birth). I am going to study in Australia, which means I would need to apply for a student visa. I can only apply on ONE of my 2 passports (They both level 1 for the visa so it makes no difference in the difficulty on obtaining the visa). My question is this, Will I be able to go into Australia IF I applied my student visa on my South African Passport BUT I do not fly from South Africa but from Taiwan instead? Thus it makes my journey Taiwan ----> Australia, then at passport control I hand them my South African passport which has my visa to enter that country. Is that possible? Your help would be greatly appreciated! ^^ PS: Going to study in University of Queensland~ Soo excited!

Language Enrichment Programs in Taiwan?
Language Enrichment Programs in Taiwan?
Hello everyone, I am currently planning to study in Taiwan and preparing for SY 2009-2010 admissions. The schools in Taiwan requires you to be able communicate, write and listen in Chinese. Although the Taiwan scholarships offers LEP (Language Enrichment Programs) for the students to learn Chinese (am I right?), how can other international students learn Chinese IN Taiwan to be able to be eligible for the applications in the universities? Are there any institutions/schools offering similar courses in studying Chinese? Where can I find them and how do I apply. Also, how much is the payment? Thanks in advance!

Here's an important question that will help you narrow it down: How many foreign languages do you know? If the answer is zero, you may want to consider a country which speaks your native language. But, don't fret. I know a lot of people who knew almost nothing about the main language of a country they did a foreign exchange to. If you go this route, consider taking language classes before you leave (independently or through your school or a nearby school), or taking language classes while in that country. If you do know a foreign language or two, even just a bit, go to a country which has that language as its first or second language. Also, how long have you been away from your family and friends? Do you get homesick easily? If you haven't been away from them for long, or you do get homesick easily, you should go to a neighboring country, or one on the same continent; or, you could go to a country that is farther away but you won't be gone for as long. One last thing to consider is this: how open are you to seeing different religions, different people, and different ways of life without instantly pressing your beliefs upon them? Any country you go to which isn't your own will have people vastly different from you. Are you willing to learn about new people and things without trying to change them into who you are? :) Personally, from your list, I'd pick Japan. Not only is it on a different continent, it's pretty much the technological and fashion capital of the universe, but those are some things I'm interested in. Look into a little history and culture about each of these countries before you make your final decision!!!
2 :
I think the best thing you can do is to decide what is important to you. Ask yourself questions like: -Do you want to learn a new language? -Do you want to get to know a completely different culture and adjust or you just want something with a little more familiarity? -Do you want to go to a place that has excellent weather conditions? -Do you want to go to a country where most people do speak English? LANGUAGE/CULTURE: I would definitely recommend a country that you do know something about and you can speak its language at a certain level. Even if you don't speak Spanish, it is a good option because that language is pretty easy compared to the others and most Spanish universities offer several classes in English. This way, you would have a good opportunity to learn a new language because don't expect too much from a language that you are not familiar with at all. I don't think anybody could learn more than some words in a semester. That was my experience at least. If language learning is not the reason why you want to be an exchange student, Denmark is also a great option since everybody speaks perfect English there. It is a very nice country, by the way. I'm from Hungary and I can tell you Hungarian is a very difficult language just like most of the languages of the other countries you listed. I have met many exchange students and although they felt great here, I kinda felt that they were a little lonely and sometimes they were afraid to communicate with others. They would have loved to learn the language but that is impossible in only one academic year or even less. If you have any questions, feel free to message me because I might be able to give you some advice if you have specific questions since I have visited or lived in a lot of countries you have on your list.

Help with teaching in Taiwan?
Help with teaching in Taiwan?
In my 4 years here in Taiwan I have been both a teacher and a tutor for everyone from 5yr olds to 30~40 something business men/women and in that time I have never had a student ask me something that I couldn't easily find an answer to or figure a way around answering them (only if it is something that they shouldn't know ie 7-9yr old boys asking about sex). But this time I had a group of 6th grade students (boys and girls) ask me why do people wear underwear. Now this is the one thing that I have been asked that I didn't know what to say, and I have put them off for a few weeks now but they are persistent in getting an answer. Actually I am sort of curious my self. 1. Why do people wear underwear? 2. Is there a good answer to give them? 3. Is there some website or book about the history of underwear haha. 4. Has anyone else had any crazy questions from their students that stand out in your mind. I have told them that they should ask their parents or grandparents, and tried passing them off on other teachers but they keep coming back to me for an answer. I want to ask for serious answers but I don't think that there can be any for this question.

Why do people wear underwear? To keep the stains off my jeans and onto something easier to replace. (OK...gross image). Actually, there is a great article on wikipedia about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undergarment Great. Here I am at work scrolling through wikipedia and get to the pics of underwear. Glad nobody saw that because few people here speak English and it would be hard to explain that I'm trying to answer your question and not some perv. My craziest story of a student wasn't from a question, it was from his answer. We were doing living and nonliving things. I put the question "name 3 living things near a lake." He wrote: 1) fish 2) tree 3) frog OK...good answers. No problem there. "Name 3 nonliving things near a lake." He wrote down three things like rock, water, and something else. He erased them and put: 1) Plastic bag 2) Knife 3) Teacher I was too afraid to mark them wrong and I knew he knew what I meant anyway. :-) (Don't worry...he was a good kid. Made me laugh a lot).

Is this a good essay and 1st paragraph and thesis?
The education of a human being begins at birth and continues throughout his or her life. Since the early 1980's, North America has been "behind" Japan, Taiwan, and China in the subjects of math and science. As a result, America's competence in mathematics, science, and technology is at great risk. We should have math, science, and reading homework beginning in kindergarten because children need to face challenges at an early age. Our expectations for our children should be much higher(Bempechat 501). . According to statistics, the North American education system lacks a firm background in mathematics and science, thus school systems in these areas should challenge students to a higher degree. For a high school student, self esteem is essential.

I have no other information about him. I returned to my country, Taiwan, in 1994 and lost contact with him. It has been more than 10 years since our last meeting.

boyfriend's student visa is expired, what should we do?
boyfriend's student visa is expired, what should we do?
Ok he was here for highschool, he graduated this past may. He can't attend college due to the expired visa. Our plan was that after I turn 18, (in 4 months) we could get married. Now, I did read on here that as long as he came here legally, we could get married and he'd be given a green card easily as long as he came here legally. It's just that his student visa expired, BUT I read some other, scary things after that. Apparently he is an illegal alien, with an expired student visa, breaking the law, etc! I'm hearing all kinds of different things though.. . like, some states will allow you to marry, some won't, yes you can get married w/ the expired student visa, no you can't! I need to know the truth! Though I shouldn't be asking yahoo answers... Basically I just need to know what's the best thing he should do. I really do love him, and he loves me. I CAN NOT lose him. Alright? Don't give me that "you're too young" crap, ok, i'm willing to take a risk. .. So ya, applying for the student visa can take 1 to 2 years he says if he goes back, and plus he'll have to join the army for, like, 1 and a half years because in taiwan it's mandatory, I hear. Should he apply for a student visa or a fiancee visa? Is there anyway to just stay here and ?? ? no? I'm freaking out. Please help ~

I dont know the legal answer, but i do know the moral one.... if your in love girl, then marry him! Just wait and see what happens after.
2 :
Sponsor him for a K-visa, which is a fiance visa so he can stay until you two get married. It alsts for I think six months.
3 :
what you need to do is contct a lawyer some one you can trust like a family friends or your family lawyer they are the ones who can best help you they understand law the best....and i dont think that getting accepted for a visa takes 1-2 years i've applied for and h4 visa ,i noe its different but its still a visa, and the longest its taken me to get it is about 3 months the shortest was i think about 2-3 weeks good luck:D
4 :
As his visa already expired, he has to go back to his country. It is not true that some states will allow marriage while others won't, this is a federal law, not a state law so here is what you two can do: Your boyfriend has to return to his country of origin then you ask for a K-1 visa (USCIS is the right authority at which you will have to submit your claim, you and not your boyfriend!). Obtaining a K-visa takes several months (but usually less than a year). When he gets his visa, he can go back to the States to marry you within 90 days (this is an important requirement because if it does not happen in that timeframe, he breaks the law). He should NOT apply for another student visa and he is not allowed to anyway. So the only way to get him back is to apply for a K-visa. He has to leave the country and wait in his country until his case is processed. If this does not happen the way described and your boyfriend stays in the U.S. illegally, there will be no way to make his status legal. He has to leave for a period of time no matter where or how the marriage takes place. If you get married in another country, he won't need a K visa but he will still have to wait for his green card in his country. He is already illegal, don't wait to start the right procedure. It is not true what the other person said above me, it matters what kind of visa he can obtain and he is not allowed to get another student visa. Of course, it is easy to obtain one first but when that expires, the person is not allowed to apply for another one for awhile. That is why it takes long and be advised that a student visa is a non-immigrant visa so that is not good for him if he wants to live in the U.S. permanently.
5 :
Make sure he DOES NOT leave US. If he does, it is going to be very very hard to come back. Now the best scenario for you would be to get married as soon as you become of legal age and file a form I-130 and form I-485 for him. He is illegal but he will be forgiven as he would be married to a US Citizen and his entry (original one) was inspected meaning he did not cross the border undocumented or without inspection. If he came on a visa to US, he is able to adjust his status based on marriage to a US Citizen. If he goes back to his country, it would result on a ban on him. If he stayed less than 180 days illegal would result in 3 year ban and more than 180 days would result in 10 year ban. To waive it, you would require a waiver which can be hard and tricky. You can consult a lawyer (a knowledgeable one) for some advice if you like
6 :
I have met a lot of women who thought I was pretty hot, but they needed green cards. He is probably using you. After all, you are not even 18 yet. You will learn though, after he dumps you and the baby, what he wanted.
7 :
Well, if he's no longer in status on his student visa, he could be deported, but the probability that it will happen isn't very high. However, if you two do get married, you need to take a good look at his visa. If he came over on a J rather than the more usual F visa to attend school, he may need to get a waiver of the 2 year residency requirement before he can get immigrant status. If he has a J visa and the visa notes he's subject to the 212e residency requirement, then he'll have to get a waiver through the State Department. As for getting married itself, marriage laws fall under state law, not Federal law, and the laws do vary from state to state. Immigration laws are Federal laws, but not marriage laws. If you marry, you'll need to file an I-130 immigrant visa petition, an I-485 adjustment of status request, and a work authorization request as well. It won't be cheap, it will cost over $1,300 just to file all the forms, and they need to be filed at the same time to do you any good. But once you marry and file the proper paperwork, he won't be subject to deportation while everything is being processed. He won't be able to leave the US and return while he's being processed unless he applies for and gets Advance Parole. If you marry and he returns, you can file an I-130 petiton for him, and then you'll have to wait until that's processed. It takes a year or so for USCIS to process and approve the petition, about 6 months for the National Visa Center to process it some more and then send it to his home country for the visa interview. If you don't marry and he leaves, you could file the I-129f K petition. That will take a year or so again, but the NVC does its processing much faster, so it doesn't take 18 months. If he's out of status, he can't change to student status while in the US. He'd have to leave and apply back home. If he's been out of status for over 6 months, he would be ineligible for any visa for 3 years, and if he's been out of status for 12 months, he'd be ineligible for 10 years. So, you have lots to think about. Take a look at uscis.gov and you'll find the forms and fees I'm talking about. Plus, take a look at the instruction form for filing the I-485. There's lots of important information for you there. Good luck.

He can't apply for anything at this point from the USA because he is illegally here. He needs to go back to his own country, and then you can petition him with a fiancee visa. There is no other legal way. At this point, he is subject to deportation. If this is done then there is a 10 year ban on him. You could always go back with him to his own country.

Well when you use the internet you will learn about the positive and negative things that can come out of it. So write about how it can be educational and beneficial to yourself. On the other hand, the internet also exposes violent and pornographic content to people who are under aged so that would be a huge con.

Quite honestly, with the amount of cultural genocide that is going on in Tibet, and how China is importing Han Chinese and Han culture there to change the society (even giving benefits to Chinese who marry Tibetans to further dilute the Tibetan blood), if we wait too long, there won't be any Tibetan people left. We can't wait for you. As for Taiwan, that's a completely separate issue. If the Taiwanese ever decided to join China (which they still don't want to, by the way), then the rest of the world will support it. Until then, we support their right to govern themselves and not be invaded. And Hong Kong is China. We have no problem with that.

The degree of brutality and the number of Native Indians slaughtered are much more worse than that of Tibetans..

Yes, you can. But, you must put the parents information and income information (converted to US Dollars) with whom you lived with the most recently on your fafsa application. Even if it has been several years. You will have to get your parents tax forms (from whatever country they live). When it asks for that parents Social Security number enter in nine 0's ( 000-00-0000 ) and print out the signature page and mail the signature page to them so they can sign it. They then need to mail the signed signature page to the address on the paper. You MUST have at least ONE parents information on your fafsa application (and if that parent is remarried their spouses income information as well). If you do not put parent information you will only get Unsubsidized student loans to go to college. The college must have a federal school code... generally these are in the US, with a few exceptions.

Move to Taiwan?
Move to Taiwan?
I'm a 17 year old girl who plan to move to taiwan when I'm 19, right after high school. I plan on move to taichung and go to tunghai university and study chinese. But ofcourse I will need a job. So, is it possible to get a job when your a 19 year old student, foreigner? (I come from Norway, but I speak English as it was my native language)

I think move to mainland would be cooler than move to Taiwan.It`s hard for foreigner to learn traditional chinese .

Then how good is your English? Do you speak Chinese? You can communicate in English with those youngsters and youth but not to many of the middle-aged and elderlies in Taichung. For finding a job, you can try finding jobs that needs your skill, like interpreter, translator, language teacher, maid etc. You should learn some Chinese before you actually move to Taiwan, cause its much more easier for you to stay in Taiwan. If you need any help on learning Chinese or moving into Taiwan, you can visit more profile and feel free to contact me.
3 :
Technically its illegal for a student visa to work. but I doubt you will have any trouble finding jobs as a female. Most likely you will either end up in a bushiban or kindy getting paid in cash. Make sure you have enough savings to last your first few months and that you can meet the financial requirements to get the student ARC. If your (work) school gets raided say goodbye to your education and your ARC, however. You can also try to get other university students to do private lessons with you at their home or your apartment or at a neutral place in public for spending money as a safer method. The schools here are quite serious about the attendance to maintain the student ARC. To the best of my knowledge the front schools that used to take your money and report you as having attended class are shut for the last 6 years or so, but perhaps with the KMT back in that will restart... to the detriment of our being taken seriously (and our taking Taiwan seriously) If you want to work and be recognized for having taken courses you should get a BA in Chinese from a recognized university... which I am not sure if Taiwan has or not. NTU should be recognized but many others are just there for taking your cash... be aware.

Let me begin by saying that you are a brave person and have a good idea. Don't let hearsay deter you. Just get the facts. You can go to the Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for information about the rules. http://iff.immigration.gov.tw/enfront/student.php http://www.studyintaiwan.org/index.php Yes, as a student you have the right to apply for a work permit. You can also work unofficially as an English tutor or in small language schools. You won't have trouble finding work, whether you have a work permit or not. There are tons of English teaching opportunities. You may also find some students who wish to learn Norwegian. For example, if a person is planning to study abroad at a university in Norway, then they would have a very high value on a teacher who is native speaker from Norway and you could charge them accordingly. You're going to love it in Taiwan. The people are very friendly and the crime rate is about the lowest in the world. If you want to learn Mandarin, Taiwan is a perfect choice. I've lived here for 16 years.

1. what ever you do, don't go to china. quality of life is very low, too though and un-respectfull of youngs especially girls, and chinese spoken there is totally craps anyway. 2. yes, you will love taiwan and it will be wonderful experience for an ambitious young guy like you. people are great, way of life very miningfull & rich. 3. but move to taipei first, and taita university on sheda road. this is the capital, and it will be much better for a start and first 6 months. best of all is not to go to university ( where teacher speak english ) but to smaller local school, where overseas chinese send their kids in summer to learn chinese, like "guo u reba" on roosevelt road, 5 min wall from sheda rd. you can go there 2h a day, after your lesson at the university. 4. as far as i know, you could not get a work permit in taiwan with a tourist and/or student visa, but you should be able to find (unofficial) work as english teacher, easily, that it what every body does.

I'm a girl in Taiwan. I'm 17, just like you are. I think it will be quite hard for you to get a job, and the main reasons are : 1. You can't speak fluent Mandarin AND Taiwanese (yet). No shops or restaurants would like to hire a person who can't communicate with the costumers. 2. You haven't finish your college education yet, plenty of college graduates here are unemployed, it's hard to find a "fine-paid" job here unless you have graduated from one of the top five prestigious college. 3. You are still studying and going to school, that kills away a lot of job opportunities because you can only get part time jobs. BUT! A lot of college students here work as tutors for kids younger than themselves. A lot of rich parents hire tutors for their kids, and the most popular subjects that the parents would like the tutors to teach are English and math. Since you are from Norway, I think you have a definite advantage on getting a tutoring job. Teaching kids takes some planning and a lot of patience, but I'm sure you have no problems with that. But, if you are hoping that your job is going to deal with all of your financial problems, then you might probably need several tutoring jobs. ( Most college students tutor only for a bit of allowance to spend, not for dealing with the financial problems.) And don't get tricked, people would want to hire you cheap, but I think you are worth around 600 NT dollars per hour of tutoring. So, the problem now, is HOW you find tutoring jobs. I think the easiest way is to recommand yourself to the people and neighbors you know. Or find a job agency on the net, some job-finding sites are even especially designed for tutors and parents searching for tutors.

Should I study in China or Taiwan? Will Taiwan use Simplified Character and/or pinyin in the near future?
I'm planning on a Gap Year, the majority of my time (6-8 months) will be spent studying Chinese. I've studied Mandarin for 2 years in school. I'll have studied it for 2 years in school, 2 years with private tutor by the time I graduate. Altho my vocabulary is pretty ok, my pronunciation is pretty bad, due to my own speech issues, etc. Im most comfortable with pinyin and simp. characters. I want to find a job teaching English. I know it's pretty hard, especially just as a HS student, but I hear the demand for English teachers in Taiwan is very high (esp if you look white, lol...) However, I do have a lot of experience teaching English, to ESL kids and Vietnamese street children (I live in Vietnam). Main factors affecting my decision: How easy is it to find a job teaching English is Taiwan and China just as a HS graduate? Will Taiwan use simp. characters &pinyin by the time i graduate? I saw by 2009, all UN doc's will be in simp. Just any advice/thoughts you have about this?

And most of them do not know how to write simplified characters,though they know pinyin clearly. In mainland China, they just use simplified Characters instead of traditional characters. To find a job teaching English for you, may be not a hard thing in mainland China, but one thing I should tell you is, the pay is poor compare to that in other countries, but is enough for you to live in. I think the advice above may help you a little.

I am looking for an old friend in the Taipei area of Taiwan.?
I had an young exchange student who was a classical pianist, many years ago. At that time her address was on Roosevelt Rd. I saw her name in the Taipei Times ( the June 2006 issue) mentioning her as performing the piano. Her name is Li-chun Wang. I would love to contact her again- can anyone help?

I had an young exchange student who was a classical pianist, many years ago. At that time her address was on Roosevelt Rd. I saw her name in the Taipei Times ( the June 2006 issue) mentioning her as performing the piano. Her name is Li-chun Wang. I would love to contact her again- can anyone help? Email, street address, even phone number? I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

You'd need to look up the rules for in-state tuition rates at the university you're considering, but in general, for most universities, you need to move to the state and live there, without going to college, for a year - some states want more or less time than that. During that time, you need to do things that show you're really a resident of the state, like get a job, get your name on an apartment lease, get a driver's license, register to vote, etc.

Math teachers: how to describe weight when answering simple story problems?
One of my friends in Taiwan asks me if students write down "3 kg 400 g" to stand for "3.4 kg" after calculating 1.9 kg plus 1.5 kg , is this describtion acceptable in English?

It's not wrong, and its good that they understand that 3.4kg = 3400g. It's not the best answer though. Perhaps an imperial hangover?

As an aspiring teacher with experience working with ESL students, playing games can not only be fun but educational as well. Question: dou you know how to speak their language? If so, you're 99.9% there!!! I would suggest you look into websites for ESL activities. Believe me, there are numerous!!! Try activities that have music (music is universal!) make up songs that include their name and try to rhyme it. Sing "Row, row, row your boat" and include hand gestures. Paint pictures of common every day objects and verbally name them in English,(hey, maybe they will name it in Taiwanese!) Play hopscotch or any other kinesthetic activity, that way they work their motor skills. Possibilities are endless!! Use your imagination!

I am a 23 year old male from toronto and i am looking for input on teaching english in asia. I will have my BA come may, and i am looking for an experience while being able to eliminate some student loan debt. In your opinions what would be the best place to have an enjoyable time while saving some money. I am more confortable with city life so i do enjoy city centers and nightlife. Also, in these places what realistically could i save, if spend what the average teacher would. Thus far i have looked into Taiwan, Japan and Korea, so any other advice on these places would be greatly appreciated.

Wow. Good question! I have been teaching in Prague for the past year and I love it. It is a really fun career choice. When you are looking at the average salaries, make sure to compare it with the cost of living in that particular country. For example here in Prague the cost of living is really low - so the salaries seem low...but I make good money. First of all, you should know that in order to teach EFL in any Asian country, you will need a TEFL Certificate. The schools there will require a BA, and a TEFL Certificate in order to even consider you as an applicant. If you do not already have yours, I recommend going to my Alma Mater....TEFL Worldwide Prague. It rocks. I loved it! ;) So... if it's good nightlife and good money you are after, then I suggest going to So. Korea. You will probably be set up with an apartment and a good salary that will allow you to save quite a bit of money. A friend of mine is teaching there right now and says it is really fun - good clubs and nice people. Japan is also a good place to save money, and has tons of job offers. Getting a job there in a big city would be easy. But again, they will require TEFL cert and a BA. Good Luck!

(taiwan) taipei average rental for students?
going to study in taipei. Maybe for two years. what is the average monthly rental? include electricities? how about Studios? just rent a single room with a personal/share bathroom???

It will depend on what kind of apartment you want. If you don't mind sharing an apartment with a housemate, there are rooms for around 6000-8000NT (180-245USD). If you want your own place it is more expensive maybe 10000-16000NT (300-485USD) and up. If you are studying at a university, you might be able to stay in their dormitory for much cheaper. I don't know about Taipei dorms, but in the town I was in, it was something like 7000NT for three months, which is under 100USD a month. There are curfews and other rules though so if you want more freedom you might not like it. You can look at apartments listed on http://tealit.com/index.php and http://www.taiwanted.com/index.php?catid=42 to get an idea of how much things are. As for electricity, you have to ask the landlord. Sometimes everything is included and sometimes you have to pay separately. I think usually you have to pay separately, but still ask. Also, if you live a little outside of Taipei center, like Beitou, Yonghe, or even further out in Xindian, Danshui you should be able to find some cheaper places. Hope that helps some. Have fun in Taipei~

if you rent a room and share the rest with your housemates, it will cost you about USD200 if you live in taipei city if you rent an apartment for yourself that would cost at least USD500
3 :
i was at taida for a sememster 3-4 years ago... if you live on campus you pay something ridiculous like $6000NT for the whole sememster (yes, the WHOLE semester)... also, taiwan is very funny because there is a wide disparity in rental property - it also depends on where you are living. if you want to live near sogo or other 'nicer' areas, you are looking at 18,000 - 20,000NT a month... but if you're looking for a loft next to school and or a place that is not as extravagent, you're looking at 5,000-8,000NT a month.... and for you; you may want to look at furnished apartments which could be a little more... make sure you go someplace with an aircondition!!! because it is going to get nasty during the summer time... all utilities are cheap except for the air condition...
4 :
I stayed in a place that cost 14,000 a month, a quite big 1 bedroom apt. A studio would go for about 8-10,000 a month I think. It also depends on the area you look in.

I have found a wing chun school (a branch of kung fu) in taipei but the links to the school are broken and can't be found. So, without rambling too much I pretty much want to know a decent area to live in (cheaply) a good language school and/or colleges and a wing chun school.

Taiwan, well I like to call it Formosa still, cause it sounds better. Its an amazing country, and almost everything is produced here. School consumes every child's life. There are some private schools were you pay and some private school were you get in by how well you can score. The relationship with teachers is as diverse anywhere else.Some teachers are strict, some are nice. Overall its more formal. Taiwan people think tests are everything and those who don't make it won't do well in their lives, which is not the case, like people who also don't do well in other countries, but Taiwan studies are probably a hundred times more mind laboring anywhere else, other than JP or China. Public schools require uniform and they are free.
2 :
1. You breathe. Ideally you pass tests, but if you don't you still get moved onwards and get a slap on the ass and a nice piece of paper that said you completed 12 years of your existence in an institution. 2. Generally fine. About the same as N. America, perhaps friendlier and more parental involvement generally. You can be friendly with your teacher but you wont be going to clubs with them or having their babies/fathering their babies unless your teacher is a very bad person. 3. If you don't pass tests, you either work in a lower paying job, set up a business and take care of yourself, sponge off your parents for a few more years and go to whatever institution will accept you and start racking up student debt with your more capable peers, or suicide. I don't recommend the last option. Option 1 or 2 probably are the most profitable and useful options. 4. Previously until this year, yes, you paid tuition which was heavily subsidized if your family couldn't afford it themselves. As of next year, now the government has finally agreed to subsidize educational institutions until 12 years, thus bringing the educational standard up to western standards for public schools.

If you don't speak or understand Japanese, Korean, or Mandarin, Australia would be best for you. Almost all lectures in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore are in the national language. You will definitely have a hard time. (But Singapore has some International schools with English as the medium of instruction. You'd have to some research on those schools.) You can't go to University directly. The educational system in the Philippines is very different from other countries. You'd have to go to community college or junior college for minors and stuff, and then transfer to University. Community college's usually don't have dorms, but there are a lot of apartments and rooms near campus. There are a lot of scholarships available to international students, but most of them require at least 3 quarters of college work and a high GPA. Here in the US, international students are ONLY ALLOWED to work PART TIME IN CAMPUS. I'm sure it's the same in Taiwan. I'm not sure about other countries, though. For finding a school, Google is your friend. Use it.

Problem with exchange student?
Problem with exchange student?
We are having a problem (already, yes) with our exchange student from Japan. We have hosted s few students, all girls, from Germany, Sweden, and Taiwan. All our previous host daughters were wonderful and we keep in touch with them all. Now our daughter from Japan is causing a bit of trouble for us. - first she is very, very shy. I understand her being shy at first but it's been a month we've had her now and she barely says more than a sentence or two a day at meals and it's only when we ask her questions. We have tried avoiding yes/no questions because shell just nod/shake her head. She had very high english scores in japan so that is not the issue here. - We are a Christian family and have told her we want her attending church with us and not openly displaying her Buddhist shrines. She has feigned sickness or sleepiness (citing jetlag) for not joining us at mass and I found my daughter looking at her shrines. - she has made Japanese food at least 1-2 times a week since she's come here, we told her that she's supposed to experience USA life. Not Japanese in the USA. - she constantly texts the Japanese exchange student she came over with (this girl is in Massachusetts while we are in Mississippi). She alwas talks about boston/new York where this girl has been. Well sorry our state is so boring for you!!;; that made us pretty upset. You know us southerners are proud. Anyways how do you think we should address these issues? We have a daughter the same age and she hasn't even wanted to go out with my daughter to the mall or anything! Mu daughter is starting to think this girl hates her. She's here full year so we'd like to resolve the issues.

Ok, I'm from the south too so I understand people not accepting hospitality. It's weird for other people though to be as nice as us. As for the shrine, this is the US. Freedom of religion, she knows that and this may be the root of many of your problems with her. Don't be an authority forcing down her religion. That's not the best way to get to know someone. Distorting people religions is a very strong thing around the rest of the world, as they all have to protect their faiths. As for her interest in other places, she is from a foreign country, she has heard magic stories. She is interested in the places she dreamed about, not suburbia, or home life. As for your daughter, have her be an out from you. She is probably afraid of your daughter because anything she does around her she may fear will be reported to you. As for food, allow her to cook for you or something so you guys can get to know each other better. Don't be mad at her for wanting food from her country.
