Ser, thanks for sharing more on Taiwan. For someone like me who rarely travels, it has enriched my knowledge abt the outside world. Recently, I get to know a foreign Indian mummy whose gal is in the same school with my son. I was surprised that she pays 2.5k for rental of 4 rm flat and send her gal to a Montessori school. The first thing in my mind, her husband must be earning a lot compared to a Singaporean. There is no way for a local to pay $2.5k house rental and montessori education in cash. I am using the CDA acct to pay for my son's montessori school fees, and I still feel the pinch. In India, montessori preschool education cost abt $1k a year, while in Sg it cost 5 times more. I was so surprised that India has become more advanced in education.
The rental in Taiwan is really cheap and gives pple an opportunity to do small business to make a living. I feel it is healthier to live in Taiwan as you can eat organic veggies which are not expensive. Organic veggies are very tasty but you can't eat in abundant amt in Singapore cos of the high cost. Sg is also not very environment friendly, as it is not active in promoting recycling. 20 yrs ago, they hv bins for recycling for batteries, papers but pple treat it as trash cans. Singapore does not educate its pple on recycling, although they collect green bags in HDB flats every 2 weeks for items that are recyclable which I hv been doing faithfully for the past 10 over years. Do u think Taiwan is a gd place for retirement? After reading yr posting, I feel Taiwan is a very nice place to live in.
My brother went to Taiwan for holidays, he says the strawberries are sweet n road stall food are delicious.
