Thanks, Taipei. Thanks for being the nest that has nourished
and protected our new family during this important year. We’ll always have a
soft spot for this country and we hope to keep Taiwanese people and culture in
our lives after we move back into our own culture.
What have I learned from this city? For starters, I’ve learned how to be kind and
hospitable to foreigners, how to cook tofu a thousand different delicious ways,
how to live in a 200 square foot apartment comfortably, and how to blend urban
convenience with a small-town feel. Most
importantly, the incredible affordability of the city has given me the economic
freedom to do a job that really matters – being a full-time caregiver, teacher,
and partner to my son.
Taiwan will be missed, but I am very eager to anchor myself
and the family closer to our beloved family.
Taiwan has been a terrific home, but there is no substitute for family.
