Being a foreigner in Taiwan is a funny thing. The way you meet people and the relationships you have with them in Taiwan are completely different from the way you get in touch with people in your native country. 2013/5/10 , 2 Comments |
My first impression of Taiwan when I came back last time in January was the revamped Terminal 1 of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. I noticed there were a lot of signs courting Chinese tourists in the Airport's duty free shops. I also found that there seemed to be a lot more R.O.C. flags hanging along the main roads of Taipei. 2013/5/3 , 1 Comment |

![]() | About a year and a half ago I had the chance of doing an internship in mainland China. After four years of studying Chinese I felt this was the best way of furthering my language skills. It was a great experience, pushing me to apply for a master's in Taiwan. So far I've been here for almost three months and until now have really enjoyed my stay.

![]() | Taipei was the first Asian city that I visited and I couldn't have chosen better! As a Portuguese, I was interested by the fact that my compatriots had once called Taiwan “Formosa” and now I understand why!

As a small-town boy, I had set my life goal to explore the world when I first purchased a world map at the age of 7. It is not an easy task to travel nonstop without being home sick. When I arrived in Taiwan to visit my college friends, I assumed it would be another culture shock combined with not-so-much contact with local people. To my surprise, I only guessed the first part right.
