About

Hello, this is Judy.

I am a foreigner living in New Taipei City now. Four years ago, I went to Taiwan for the first time to pursue a master degree at one of the public universities in Taiwan. The main reason I was eager to study in Taiwan is that I got scholarship offered by my university. Besides, I also wanted to step out of my comfort zone, learned to live independently, and experienced Taiwan culture by myself, for sure.

Graduated from the university, I faced a lot of changes and challenges in my life. I started looking for a job in Taiwan and got married to my Taiwanese boyfriend. Well, challenges in life never run out though, since life itself is a never-ending challenge :-) Until now, I have been staying here for almost 4.5 years.

I realized, when I was a newcomer, it was not really easy to adjust to Taiwan life. Problems mostly come from language barriers, especially for those who have poor Chinese proficiency. Luckily, I have intermediate level of Chinese as I have learned it for 5 years in my country of origin before I came to Taiwan.

This blog provides all about living-in-Taiwan related information. My focus and purpose of writing this blog is to help foreigners in Taiwan, especially those newcomers to better adapt to the life in Taiwan.  Hope you all find the information provided here useful.

Regards,

Judy
