Curious about what actual Expatriats in Taiwan are experiencing?  Head on over to the anonymous expat in Taiwan author's blog at http://www.expatintaiwan.net


SYLLABICATION: ex·pa·tri·ate
NOUN: (-t, -t) 1. One who has taken up residence in a foreign country.

I live in Taiwan and, like other expats, teach English.  I enjoy learning about and experiencing the Taiwanese culture through the language, food, and interacting with the people of Isla Formosa. This blog is my way of sharing the culture of Taiwan with the world.

Not much info there about the author.  Anonymity gives him the freedom to write what he freely thinks about the country without getting persecuted.  Kudos!
