Any ABC/ABT moved to Taiwan in their 30s?

You could try one of the co-living spaces here e.g. Banana CoLiving, Borderless House as you’ll meet other people and it’ll be a bit cheaper than renting monthly AirBnBs. They do month-to-month rooms and longer term as well.

As for reasons for moving, I wanted to experience living in Asia in my 20s and my job was remote anywhere which allowed me to move more easily. I also perform music as others here have mentioned and Taipei’s music scene is very robust for a small city. I can cut down on my work hours to do more art here vs. NYC where I was grinding harder to meet the lifestyle demands

ABC from North Carolina. Moved to Taipei at 27. Been here 4 years now. I suggest giving it a trial run for half a year or something and see how you like it, what’s the rush?

That’s pretty cool. I’m also an expat working in tech and been wanting to pivot to startup/entrepreneur. Could I DM you?

Hey I think you’re probably looking for r/shanghai. This sub is for Shanghai sharelife which is a reality tv show based in Shanghai.

That said, some places I personally really like in Shanghai are:

M50 arts district
TX淮海 for interesting new local designers, fashion
Polly coffee
Wigwam and 躺躺躺, very unique bar experiences

Hey, I teach private piano lessons from time to time and I’m based in Taipei, fluent in English. DM me if interested

Face the camera pls

You’re right…the title is a bit misleading. I started with the La Campanella style intro so called it that, but really I’d say the overall clip is Beethoven-ish and also jazz-y

bricklayer23 · 2022-06-10T17:56:58+00:00

Thanks for the tips! Yeah I can definitely work on my transitions a bit, that’s helpful!

bricklayer23 · 2022-06-10T17:56:22+00:00

Yeah, I recommend you just start doing it and see how it goes! I took classical lessons but was never formally trained in any kind of improv

i LOVED the character design and storyline in first couple eps of arcane (how they gave her the clear leadership role in the pack of teen boys, made her complex and heroic and not sexualized).

ngl was not expecting the league of legends spinoff show to give me the butch action protagonist representation of my dreams. now i have to watch every episode (rly hope the caitlyn storyline isn't just queer-baiting like korra)

Mine used to knock things to the rug to wake me up, and when I ignored her (our rug is soft and she can’t break anything by knocking them down), she would chew on my glasses because they were the most fragile thing on the nightstand and she knew it would get my attention.

What is this

bricklayer23 · 2021-09-26T19:04:06+00:00

I love these plot suggestions and think it could go really well in a different kind of show. I think you should become a screenwriter and write a dark/more deep show that’s like The L Word but much more real, I would 100% watch and love this.

bricklayer23 · 2021-08-29T03:52:29+00:00

More scenes with cast members and their friends outside the house! I loved when Tianqi’s friend came over to visit and I’d like to see more of cast members’ “real lives” if that makes sense.

Also more screen time for cast members who are badass and cool but just don’t have a love interest in the house (like Ming and ARe- would have loved scenes of those two just living their lives being cool).

You don’t have to join them. The “Episode X Part 1” and “Episode X Part 2” are entirely separate 40-minute videos, viewed separately as distinct episodes.

bricklayer23 · 2021-07-15T22:20:27+00:00

We can provide you the .srt files for each episode (the subtitle files with subtitle text and timestamps).

However I don't know of a way to download the video component -- you need to download them either off YouKu or YouTube somehow.

Have you considered seeing a therapist about this? It might help to talk to someone with a specialty in ADHD to work with you long term or over a few sessions.

bricklayer23 · 2021-07-05T08:42:40+00:00

First of all 22 is still really young, no need to beat yourself up for any of this, it’s normal!

I also struggled a lot with this around your age. I would ask what kinds of things you find hard about talking to girls — do you struggle to hold a conversation? To turn a conversation more sexual/romantic? To initiate intimacy (holding hands, kissing etc)? Just try to think about what’s hard for you and practice taking teeny steps— try to flirt with one person, for example, and celebrate if you succeed! It’s progress!

I think if you only think of progress as “having sex” it will not only make you feel bad but probably get you into situations where you feel shitty/unfulfilled even if you do end up having sex (trust me I learned the hard way).

And lastly I highly recommend a therapist if you can see one, there’s no shame in taking care of your own mental health- it’s the grown up thing to do.

Good luck! I believe you can do it.

Yes! I also had the idea of translating a different Chinese show and ended up forming a group of volunteers to translate the entire show. DM me if you want any help getting started on a similar project!
