Capitalist lapdogs of the dissident province of Taiwan, what's the deal with tourism visas for citizens of the People's Republic of China? Is it still only possible to fly over with a guided tour?

The Tiananmen Square Incident wasn't just students and calling it a well-earned smackdown makes you a bit of an rear end in a top hat. e: Which Bloody Sunday Massacre? There are three and none of them are comparable. Maybe the Russian one, but that wasn't an isolated event.

I don't know why people don't just make their own mayo. All you need is an immersion blender and a cup.

Go ahead and godspeed ruining your working environment when the chick tells you she has a bf already / rejects you / laughs at you / you date and find you have nothing in common / you date for a while and then break up because you cannot relate to her at all because you speak no Chinese / etc. You know the only good ending to a story that starts with dating your co-worker is marriage, right? Are you going to marry her? lmao did properk move to taiwan?

Hello Taiwan goons. I'll be on holiday in your province in September for two weeks (10/9 - 24/9), anything special going on around that time? Is that food map that was posted earlier still maintained / accurate? Most of the time I'll be stuffing things in my mouth, so it'd be grand if I could rely on that. Also: How's the Airbnb situation over there, compared to hotels or minsu (in fact I have no idea what a minsu is except that it's a Taiwanese thing)?

Awesome. I saw some really cheap hotels in Taipei (and then found out they're capsule hotels, so I'll never fit in there with my giant Dutch body), but Airbnb is usually preferable. I'm flying into Songshan, so with some luck I'll just be able to walk to the place I'm staying. Unless you guys would recommend a better area to stay? I guess I should install LINE too while I'm at it.

CaptainEO posted:There is an MRT (subway) station at Songshan airport so you're set on transportation. Anywhere in Taipei is probably fine. I'd recommend being near Taipei Main Station, Gongguan, or eastward towards Taipei 101 for plenty of things to do. Ah sweet. Good to know where to look, thanks! I won't be in Taichung in time for the jazz festival unfortunately, I'll be stuck in Xiamen at the time.

Besides flying or taking the train via Taipei / Kaohsiung, is there any way to go from Hualien to Taichung directly? Or should I just grab the bus that goes halfway and turn it into a daytrip there?

If I can take a car across one-way that'd work. But doubt that's possible. Might just adjust my schedule to fly across.

I grabbed a Chunghwa SIM card at the airport with unlimited data for one month for 1000NTD and even had 4G when hiking near Lishan, so I wouldn't worry about coverage too much in Taipei itself.

Not looking to move for maybe a couple of years but I figure it might be worth it to look around early in case something really good shows in the meantime. Same but for IT. I've already dumped my CV on 104 but would be good to talk to people about the situation on the ground.

this is a stickup posted:I would strongly recommend against considering IT in Taiwan. everyone I know from CSIE that isn't in hardware r&d (MSI, HTC etc) is beyond depressed and trying to jump ship to another country. I don't know anyone in ops. Good to know, thanks. I'm an ops guy (Windows, Azure, Powershell), I'll consider doing remote work but the visa renewals don't seem appealing. We'll see I guess, not in a rush, and plenty of decent offers here.

[quote="“Atlas Hugged”" post="“477223311”"] The reality is that an English teacher with no experience can reasonably expect to pull in 50-70k NT a month while working a fairly lenient teaching schedule and entry positions in the tech industry start around 45-50k and come packaged with Taiwanese corporate culture. [/quote] I appreciate the advice, especially the salary figures. Just not looking for an entry level position.

politicorific posted:Jeoh, you're a long time Korea goon, come jump ship! Haha, I spent two months in Korea and haven't been back since... 2013. I guess the only people who leave Korea with a positive experience are the tourists. I've started applying to a few jobs on 104, we'll see what comes out of it. I guess your road (ESL -> Technical Writing -> Tech Job) is the most common way, but since I'm not a native English speaker it makes things a bit more complicated.

RocknRollaAyatollah posted:I recommend these as well. I will note that the Nationalist bias at the memorial is very obvious if you know anything about modern Chinese history and all the pictures of Kai Shek and Ching-kuo makes them look like the Kims in the 70's. There's a lot of cool artifacts though. The changing of the guard is cool too if you like military ceremonies. drat I wish someone told me about this. I thought the National Palace Museum was kinda poo poo tbh, but that might have been because of the Mainlander hordes.

kuddles posted:How often is the mountain road between Cingjing and Taroko closed off due to bad weather? I'm going to be in Taiwan for 9 days in early November and was planning on getting a private driver to take me from Cingjing to Xincheng with scenic spots in the gorge along the way, but a lot of similar itineraries I see online have most people going back to Taichung through to Taipei and then back down to Hualien and wanted to know if there are reasons other than just expense. I've heard there can be mudslides? I feel like going straight through the road would be more convenient with only 9 free days, but not if chances are high I will need to drastically change my plans the day I wake up in Cingjing. The only way between Taichung and Hualien by bus requires an overnight stay in Lishan and catching two early morning buses, or flying, or the train route you described. The road itself is beautiful and fine outside of typhoon season. Lishan is cool though.

GoutPatrol posted:There is a road that goes across the island between Hualien and Taichung/Nantou but regular traffic can't use it I think? Only a bus service. The bus service ends at Lishan and you have to stay overnight to take the next bus to Taichung (at least that's how it was when I took it in 2018). That bus also stops at Puli (the geographical centre of Taiwan~~~) and from there it's not too far to Sun Moon Lake. Lishan is really nice too, good tea, and you can stay in the same room Chiang Kai-shek did when he stayed there with his wife!
