[quote=“derek1978”]My visa was
[color=red]DENIED![/color]
:fume: :fume: :fume: :fume: :fume:
…
5 minutes later I was talkig to the 1st lady again. She said it was denied and that is final. NO REFUND! :fume:
…
I have since called SF TECO and LA TECO they both said that Kai Nan IS an approved school!!! But they can’t process my visa since I am out of their jurisdiction. I asked if they could contact Seattle and pass along the good news and they said no. Just to “keep trying”!!! WTF!!! :fume: :fume:
…
…I asked to talk to her boss. She said Taiwan is my boss. (What a Smart ASS!) at this point I was BOILING with anger, but calmly and firmly I told her I would be in direct contact with the MOE, KaiNan University, and BOCA and I would be calling back. We both hung up.
[color=red]This is BULL SHIT! Utter and complete BULL SHIT![/color]

What’s this!?
You haven’t even arrived in Taiwan yet and already you are berating the Taiwan beauracracy…
Seems you’ve changed your tune from this:
[quote=“derek just the other day”][url=I'm embarrassed to live in Taiwan - #48 by Quarters know guys, all this bitching about Taiwan not being just like home is really getting to me. Enough already. If you don’t like it, leave. If you don’t like it and can’t leave, shut up, suck it up, and make the best out of your situation. Come on, be a man (woman)!
You are all beginning to sound like a bunch of pansies.
I always pictured expats, trekers, foreign exchange people, travelers, and the such to be people of high adventure. People daring to go to places that people only read about in travel magazines and see on the discovery channel. People willing to roll up their sleeves, get down and dirty with the locals, and take a big ass bite out of life. Instead all I am seeing is the equivelant of a cruise ship full of old farts who complain that their filet mingon is too cold, their room is a bit stuffy, and their depends are too tight.
I say to you…Jump Ship! Get a grip on your life and make something better of it, get a new hobby, find a new love, open your eyes a bit wider and look at how fortunate you are…most poor suckers never see what you have seen let alone live it. Better yet, look deep inside yourself and find out what is missing that you can fill to make your life a bit more meaningful and enjoyable.
Call me optomistic, call me a fool, call me what you will…but from now on I am steering clear of these negative forums that suck you in and destroy your positive state of mind.
Good luck to you all, i truly hope you can find what can make you happy.
