We are going to be teaching just outside of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Wally will be teaching Social Studies. We leave the US on July 30 to be in country by August 1st (as required by our contract).
As for housing when we arrive, the school has a dorm that we can crash in until we get our own apartment. We will be looking for a three-bedroom apartment/house close to the school. In Georgia we only had a two bedroom, which meant the kids had to share a room. We want to avoid a repeat of that if at all possible. The school provides a supplement for housing, so we will be able to pick out what we want. This really excites me.
We have a very attractive package and are very excited about moving to Taiwan. I have started working on some Mandarin, but I think it might be easier once we get there and are hearing it all of the time. We will be in Taiwan a little over a month before we get the first paycheck. For all of you living in Taiwan, how much money do you think we will need that first month?
