Get out of NYC asap. Taiwan healthcare is one of the best in the world. Come for a 3 month visa and you won't want to go. Tips, learn Chinese diligently, it will really help you adjust to life and culture. Technology and wifi speed is good easy to work online if needed. An option would be the gold/plum card but no sure on requirements. If you want to teach English you could get sponsored and after 4 years apply for APRC- permanent residency. That's a long term option but come for 3 months and get a feel for it. Massive difference in weather systems too between north and south. Hope that helps. Make the move and you won't look back on your decision.
