More than Meets the Eye
Many people think of Taiwan is a tiny, overcrowded island with not much around except factories. If you only go to Taipei, you might think that false impression is true. However, the island also has an impressive array of natural beauty including mountains, amazing beaches, and gorgeous national park.
Most expatriates living in Taiwan rent and there are a wide variety of choices available for lease. In the center of Taipei, prices can be very expensive, but they go down as you get outside of the city. Most people choose to live in condos or apartments near the center of the city, or in houses in the surrounding suburbs.
