Why I'm afraid to move to Taiwan (again)...

- I lived in Taiwan for two years and have since visited three times. What can I say? As soon as I leave, I miss Taiwan.
Yet, for some reason, I still can't make the commitment to move to Taiwan. Do I have commitment issues? Here's why I'm afraid to live in Taiwan again despite the fact I love it so much, have friends here, opportunities, etc..

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
Speaking mandarin is easy, but the word is difficult :) normally foreigners learn listening and speaking only, reading and writing take more time to remember~
Hahah speaking isn’t that easy! Through immersion it’s best to learn but getting tones right is harder.
Even Chinese hate learning to read and write Mandarin! 😂
Thanks for your honest opinions.
There are still a lot of wonderful places to live in in the US and have a wonderful life.
LOL I’m sorry 😂 I’ve lived in safety and good health care three years now. I don’t think I can go back to that in the US.
No reason to say sorry. You know what you like and what to make yourself happy.
謝謝！
謝謝你！
Best wishes for you wherever you are
Welcome back to Taiwan, I just subscribed to follow you🥰
Awe thanks Ivan!
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.
I’ve been 7 times haha. Can say it’s not for me. People are great and yes it’s nice to speak English, but just not for me long term.
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。
Follow your heart
Taiwan will be your hometown forever
Like and hope all your families stay here
❤❤❤ it is ❤️❤️❤️ God bless you amen 🙏
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

I really hope maybe the USA will improve.
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.
I think you should definitely check out Spain and study Mandarin more. Life will lead you.
Costa Rica, tropical like Taiwan, Spanish friendly.
Have been and love it but there’s so much about Asia that I miss, like the massage culture, the food, easy transport.
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 🥰🇪🇸🤍🌸
Thanks for sharing! Yes I’m so curious. I’m used to Latin America which I looooove but I do wanna explore Spain to see what it may offer!
You can do it with learning the language.
Haha of course and that’s why I’m hesitant because it’s a long commitment and I’m not sure if that’s what I want
@KaylaCosmos Good Luck on your Journey
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
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.
True true!
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.
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 travel more to find your dream home.
Yeah we’ll see! Been traveling about two years now and I’m tired 😴
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.
也許未來再回來也是不錯的選擇。
有你在的地方 都是好地方

加油❤👍

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.
I hear you! At the end of the day, it’s still my life to chose where I go and if I find home elsewhere it is what it is. But I do understand. That’s why I actually encourage people to visit here, even if they just visit the more people that have a personal connection is important, than just watching Taiwan on the news and assuming it’s dangerous when China flies their plans around 🤦♀️
Should visit the 20 Spanish-speaking countries in the world if you’re good at Spanish to help you decide
I’ve been to a few. I love it but it’s more so just fun, and still can be more dangerous than Taiwan
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
Too many what ifs. You'll only regret what you don't do
Up to this point in life I have no regrets, what ifs aren’t a problem haha but a way of questioning
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。
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 RUclipsr
I could but don’t want to be an English teacher again 😂
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
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.😅
😂😂😂I’m sorry where? Two years and I’ve only dated ONE Taiwanese guy.
DON'T, go back to taiwan province of China.
😭😭😭

dilgo khyentse rinpoche ：the nature of mind
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?
