Believe me- you will DIE in Taiwan if you ';cant write no chinese'; and ';dont got nothing going for me.'; Why bother going?
I disagree with nina, though. Taiwanese ';hard to befriend';? That's a new idea for me. Also, I'm an ABC whose English has NEVER been corrected. In fact, I corrected my cousin's English teacher, who treated me like an idol, because of my bilingual talent. Get real!
If you are an ABC, you might as well become an English teacher in Taiwan. What you might want to do is do some serious brushing up on your English grammar and get a degree in teaching in Taiwan (which might be hard with your lack of knowledge about Mandarin- it's not as easy as you think, buddy). Perhaps you can marry a rich spouse.Im abc who hate america. wanna go live in taiwan. advice?
People who are not happy in one place are not likely to be any more happy in the next place--they simply take their obstacles to happiness along with them.
If you are unhappy in the USA because of the political situation, you will find there is plenty here in Taiwan to annoy you as well.
Just because you are an ABC does not give you any particular advantage for jobs in Taiwan, especially if you can speak only rudimentary Mandarin and cannot read and write. In fact, for jobs as English teachers, there is a strong preference for applicants who are young and Causcasian. Employers frequently specify the gender of the applciants in whom they are in interested.
Than you should come to Singapore than Taiwan caused you are american by birth and a chinese by race. But since you choose Taiwan, you should learn how to write and type in chinese before you go there, as its needed for you to actually find a job in Taiwan for anything to do with PC.
Good bye, hate to see you go hehehe
Don't come to Taiwan. There are already more than enough so called ABCs trying to swindle their way through life and the entertainment business through the use of their ABC status. Head to Singapore- maybe you'll land a teaching job there and help them improve their communication skills.
I've lived in Taiwan. They are not that receptive to ABC's. they just tolerate them, unless you are in the entertainment business there is no place for you there. Firstly,you must speak and write Mandarin to land a decent job. they also think ABC's are more dim than a native Taiwanese and will also try to correct your English as they think they speak better English as they've heard Americans don't do well in school. Also, you will be bored in Taiwan as there is not much to do there except shop. Taiwanese people are not easy to befriend and they don't drink or go out much.
If you can't read or write Chinese, you might as well forget the idea of living in Taiwan.
Your English needs some improvement too......
