How hard is it to get a teaching gig in Taipei? Going on tealit seems all the positions are for outside the city proper. I loved the country when I visited just only want to get a job there if it's in Taipei (I'm a city person).

Have 1.5 years of TEFL experience in Seoul. No certs though.

You think showing up with a suit/diploma and resume blasting is a good idea?

Is it possible to open a bank account in Taiwan w/o an ARC or work permit? Or do I need a job/sponsor?

Getting pretty tired of Bangkok need a change of scenery.

So should showing up at the bank with a Taiwanese person after I get this card be enough? That's what I did in Korea + Thailand whiles on tourist visa...showed up with my passport + female got bank account after signing some stuff and saying maybe 5 words.

Yep - get the UID from the NIA (it's a 5 minute process) and you're all set to open a bank account.

Use the NIA hotline for foreigners, it's 24hours a day, and they actually have a good service. They "will" try and answer any questions you have. (I found out about the UID for bank account thing at 2am in the morning)

NIA- 0800-024-111
Thanks man.

Also does anyone still use blackberrrys in Taiwan? Or should I just ditch it and use bring my iPhone? BBM is still really big here...

And are there monthly data + pay as you go for minutes plans or is it lame like Korea and you gotta sign 1yr contracts?
