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

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...

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.

Living in Taipei Taiwan?
Living in Taipei Taiwan?
I have done a lot of research about learning Chinese and studying martial arts. The research has been pretty much on China and not thinking about Taiwan. 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. As of right now Im a 1st year American college student.

You can take a look at the webpage of Taipei Yun Chun Class first: http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/jw!CrA05_yTHBZzSsp.uP1VohKaQwYSp3uh1h8qsmw2/ I think they have all the information you need.

Taiwan has kept the arts where as in china they were lost for a time. Taiwan is a good place and the people will treat you very good. i lived there for 8 years. i do suggest to not live in Taipei its dirty and costly. go south from the middle of the island to as far south as you can. the weather is much much better there than Taipei. the middle of the island the people are much more nice and will treat you like a small town in the usa. get a international driving license here and they will honor it there. even if you stay a short time some friends and you will have a lot of them offer to let you use a motorcycle. to make friends go to a English club. ps: i make wing chun swords

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.

It's pretty obvious, she's home sick! Give her a break, maybe she'd open up with you if you allowed her to feel more at home and stop pushing your religion onto her. Do some things she likes, and maybe that will get her to trust you some more and eventually she might want to do stuff with you and your family.
2 :
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.

Buddhist girls get really nervous about going to Catholic Churches. You must be really nervous about having those Buddhist shrines in your home. You shouldn't permit anything abominable like that.
