Hey, so I have seen this topic around before on forumosa and other sites, but most posts I’ve seen are quite old or have to do with visting each country so I am asking here. Basically, I’m currently in my mid 20s working as a data analyst in the US and am thinking of moving to either Taiwan or Japa…

Just 6 months kinda sucks though. Families would need at least 1 year.

Might be more details as that was just some IGer’s quick announcement. Maybe can re-up.
