Hi people, this is my first post so please be nice to me… :newbie:
I’m a second year undergrad student in the UK, and I’m considering teaching English in Taiwan (mainly because from my experience, China is too polluted/commie/crazy, Korea is too xenophobic and stressful, and Japan is too expensive as a place to live).
I’ve been lurking here for a while, and I’ve heard some suggestion that wages in general and for TEFL teachers in Taiwan in particular are FALLING, though, and this naturally makes me wonder if Taiwan is actually such a great idea with mounting inflation and such like. I’ve talked to quite a few Taiwanese, and I really like the sound of the place, but was looking for more of an idea of what Taiwan is like from an expat’s perspective re: the cost of living.
Maybe this could also go under “Teaching in Taiwan” but I’d appreciate responses to my question from non-English teachers as well.
Thanks.
