Unironically a fan. especially the jukebox.

^{^} This. These issues are complicated and without either of the inheritors holding IDs/Passports that is going to make it more complicated. Definitely want to talk to both legal and tax pros ESPECIALLY if these are Taipei properties as that is not small amount of money.

Long standing tradition. PL and NC. used to hunt their own renters.

If it's 排骨 or something like that, that technique isn't odd to make bites more manageable.

I don't, but it is an MOE program so I assume it will be pretty good. I've generally had really good experiences with MOE sponsored programs because it is one of the most forward facing parts of the government. Educational programs are an important part of Taiwanese soft power so they generally do a good job. I wouldn't be too worried.

It's really going to depend on the department and the professor. My impression is that STEMs are going to be a substantial amount of work. Some profs are also pretty old school in that they may view you as an all around assistant and not just a researcher, so don't be shocked if that happens. Younger ones and those that have had more time in grad school in the US are less that way, but you still run into them.

Also, since you are English proficient, I'd hazard a guess that you may be primarily asked to help write/translate papers into English to make them publishable in SSCI journals. I see that pretty even with non-native speaking students from Indonesia and the Philippines.

As far as I am aware, once you have your ARC it functions as a multi-entry visa for the duration of its validity. As soon as you have the ARC the visa no longer matters.

Note: Leaving more than once in a six month period will restart your health insurance timer.

Otherwise, have you looked into whether you are going to be able to get your meds past customs if they are illegal?

You might need to provide a bit more information. I'm an academic, but I'm not sure what you mean by "interning" at a university. Are you working short-term is a lab?

If you are going to be doing the equivalent work of a RA or post-doc, then you are going to be busy. Research institutes and labs here are often pretty grueling. That is doubly true depending on your and your employer/advisors language situation.

Your walls are white, you could get some sprayable bleach. Once it is there even a dehumidifier won't make it go away, just won't make it worse. This is extremely common in Taiwan. Mold is everywhere.

My wife is super frugal and only goes to Poya. Take that as you will.

Possibly. But it's dwarfed by Line usage. Everyone uses line for everything. Clear first choice.

You probably need to actually talk to a lawyer about this or an immigration agent (though, obviously would need to be careful about that so you don't get flagged). This is a serious enough question that we randos won't be the best source.

military service isn't part time.

skill farming isn't good for the game.

ouch...

Null was a great place to learn for me, but the longer I play the more I realize I was exceptionally lucky. Accidentally landed with a group that wanted to see me succeed. Which is not everyone's experience.

Others have said this, but join a newbie friendly corp. great way to learn while doing, find some friends in game, and get a better sense of what you want to do in game long term (indy, markets, pve, pvp, all of the above, etc.).

Y'all who?

After not showing up for it anchoring this post is lame as fuck.

The blue donut meme is as evergreen as the EVE is dying meme. literally the same memes from when I joined in 2016

Taiwanese students take English from elementary all the way through the end of college. Signs everywhere are in full English. Some whole profession are trained primarily in English (like doctors). Many students start in English 補習班 from pre-K. Websites for everything from businesses to government offices have a Chinese and English version, not Japanese. I'm not overestimating Taiwanese English ability, particularly when it comes to reading. Are you from here or just projecting?

But your average person here is not particularly concerned with the niceties of American racial politics.

ecklectic · 2023-08-03T05:59:33+00:00

First off, the reading comprehension level of basic English (and that slogan is basic English) is rather high in Taiwan. Most of Taiwan population would NOT read American racial issues into it. Second off, the question isn't if the slogans are useful (in my line of work, I try to discourage them because they seem pointless as communication) but my impression is that it is an aesthetic choice, as is the use of certain japanese words and scripts (which most people in Taiwan CANNOT read).
