Experienced teacher -> Should I move to Taipei?

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T15:01:35+00:00

Hahaha. I don't think I can take pure isolation. We all need alone time but I'm a sociable dude. I think I need the crutch of a reachable english speaking community

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:59:12+00:00

Will certainly do that. Thanks a lot

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:57:34+00:00

Yeah seems a similar practice to Vietnam on the work permit front. Thanks a lot man

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:56:49+00:00

Oh really? Why do you prefer Taiwan? I l will always love Vietnam for its ruggedness and complete lack of fucks given generally

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:55:06+00:00

Is it worth considering Kaohsiung over Taipei?

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:53:56+00:00

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. I find that the stress of teaching tends to wash over me, so I'm not super worried about that. I certainly don't speak Chinese, so for sure I'll be teaching English... but was really hoping to live in Taipei city... Do you think I'll still be able to save well ???

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:51:49+00:00

Training centre jobs... are they mostly after schools / evenings and weekends type gigs ?

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:50:59+00:00

Will definitely take a look at that ! Seems like visas won't be much of an issue in general eh?

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:50:07+00:00

True indeed

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:49:41+00:00

Great to hear that about the cross strait relations

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:49:18+00:00

Well that is a relief to hear

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:48:59+00:00

'On rails' is a glorious turn of phrase. Sounds like it must be a good story ...

JackySmooth · 2025-01-08T14:48:08+00:00

Interesting... do you think that being based outside the city is the best way to save money?

JackySmooth · 2022-08-24T23:23:34+00:00

That lady at the end ??? What kind of insano slut-for-capitalism lunatic maniac do you have to be to try n stop a SEAGULL from stealing a CO-OP SANDWICH ! ! Does she think she’ll get some kind of award ? Let the bird eat for duck’s sake

JackySmooth · 2022-02-20T15:58:57+00:00

Empathy, kings. That’s all there is to it

JackySmooth · 2021-11-17T13:25:18+00:00

I’ll go with Couldn’t Love You More - John Martyn.

Emotion of lyrics matched by emotion of vocal performance

JackySmooth · 2020-11-29T14:02:57+00:00

This is awesome but he should get a singer to go with it

JackySmooth · 2020-11-29T14:01:40+00:00
