About
I’m an American living in Ohio who is planning on moving to Taiwan within the next couple years. My Chinese is almost non-existent, I’m still not that big on tofu, and I can’t stand muggy weather. Still, my wife is from Taipei and I’m tired of where I am. Thus, when she finishes her Ph.D work, we’ll be hopping on a plane and moving to Formosa.
I hope this blog will serve as an outlet for me, my concerns, frustrations, surprises and a place that I can gush about how wonderful my new home is. In the meantime, before I get there, it will be a place that I can talk about my trepidation, anxiety, giddiness and what I’ve found out about myself in the process.
Join me.
Incidentally, it’s rather important that your computer is set up to read Chinese, as (I hope) it is rather pervasive on this site. Also, if my Chinese is wrong, bizarre or just plain funny, please let me know. I’m learning.

Hey, thanks for adding my blog and I will definitely add yours to mine!
I haven’t met too many Ohioans here as opposed to Holland where I met so many! I can’t wait to read your blog and if you want a dog, we have plenty up for adoption so feel free to post on my blog or email me at breanna@taichungpaws.org
Hope to talk to you soon!

Hi,
I’m also planning to move to Taiwan with my Taiwanese wife. However, my timeline is quite longer than yours (9 to 10 years). Basically, it’s to retire there when I’m 50.
Seeing your blog, I decided to create one similar to yours and it’s called “Taiwan Countdown: 2019″:
I added your site to my blogroll.
Cheers,
Kevin
