Might be fun to see how many people moved to Taiwan at what age. Im sure it plays a role in how we have evolved as individuals.

I think the poll would be better with narrower age ranges in younger ages and higher ranges in older ones. Much more personality development in the time between 20-30 than between 70-80.
Ya, you’re right. Wont let me edit it now though.
Edit. Was allowed to add another poll haha.
I arrived at the height of MC Hot Dog Wo Ai Tai Mei.
Or who the hell knows how to keep up with latest Taiwan Hip Hop
17
In keeping with your Homer Simpson persona.
Well I was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning my first week here so…
Time to change your nickname to Brian McGee
Although back then, and probably still now you didn’t need a fake ID to get into clubs and bars
I guess technically I got here at 25 but turned 26 two weeks after now 27.
Still more “mature” than the 30+ year olds forgeiners working at my last job 
And more so than most taiwanese 50+ ha!
To be, or not to be. That is the question! One might deduce that maturity needs not compare their maturity with the under sufficient 
I first arrived when I was 26 for a strictly one-year stay, but I went back when I was 29. I’m 36 now and hope to go back again, though this time with no intention of leaving any time soon.
I think when I was 26, I was too immature and inexperienced to appreciate what a good thing it was to be young and carefree in Taiwan. Although it was only a couple of years difference, I think going back a little bit older helped me love it so much more the second time.
I honestly hate the word maturity because it’s like 12 year olds thinking they’re so “mature” because their creepy older bf says so lol.
I should have said personal development like the other post haha
I do wish I came to Asia when I was 21 like I wanted though. I feel like I’m behind on my personal goals. Have to remind myself it’s OK and I can still do the rest.
You don’t want to come at 21 to live here.
I’m trying to help a friend find a job. She’s not 21 but like many 21 year olds she doesn’t have a degree and is significantly harder without the degree
Puts hair on your chest 
I came younger than that, it was hard for sure but well worth the life educaion. I think it is quite useful to go early ( to any far away land, not just taiwan). I kind of feel its good to scrape our knees younger rather than older. Degrees are proving more and more useless for a fairly large section of society anyway.
If you’re foreign and do not want to work in a factory in a new country that requires your citizenship attain a work permit to do any type of work, you almost certainly need a degree before they consider your entry to the country.
Second. There is nothing wrong with scraping one’s knees, but if something is most certainly a 100% failure rate, I’d rather just not waste the time. I came to Taiwan after my degree so that I could fall back onto something and not waste time trying to figure out a roundabout way of getting in to settle here. You want to teach? You need a degree. Want to work white collar office jobs? You need a degree. Want to work an entry level retail job? Sorry, they’re not giving work permits out for that. Work for a factory or cleaning up after Ama’s 12th time shitting her pants today? You’re not getting an APRC, that’s for sure.
A degree provides some cushion in a country where you have no rights. You need a degree in 2022.
Thirdly. I already have so much hair on my chest, the women here nervously ask to touch it.
Don’t make me unbutton 4 buttons.
Fourthly. I’d imagine, @deepshelter might not want to grow chest hair.
Liked for abundant chest hair. 
@icon approves!
FIFY
I hope she is still around; I haven’t seen her much on the threads I have been reading these days.
