I just stumbled across your blog when browsing for Taiwan blogs, and I enjoyed reading several pieces. I will soon be an expat in Taiwan and have a blog of my own at http://www.lifeoutsideamerica.com and I’m hoping we can share links if you are interested.

I wen to Taiwan and spent 10 days hoping to get a job as an ESOL teacher but to no avail. I think it’s partly due to the fact that I’m a non-native speaker of English (I speak and write Mandarin) and the language schools there do prefer native speakers (which I can totally understand but felt defeated). Would love to get advice from you regarding ESOL job opportunities in Taiwan for non-native speakers.
Keep up the good work!

The company was called 向上 and they were perfectly fine. However, I really don’t think there will be enough water in April to make it worthwhile. Perhaps river tracing would be better at that time of the year, if you need any more help just let me know.

thanks for the very detailed account if your experience! Could you share with me the contact details of the rafting company that you went with, and your genuine comments on their services?
I’m thinking of doing water rafting in hualien this April :)

cheers!
Wendy
