I lived in 3 countries in the past 8 years and Taiwan was one of
them.
Claims that some others have here might not be as accurate. If
one has never lived aboard, i wonder how you can make claims like
that. Visiting and living in another country is totally
different.
Yes, Singapore govt has strong
ties with their KMT party but President Ma has only his final term
to run. After that, it will be another president that will take
over.
Food poison ? Every country has that, how about trying to defend
the fact that Singapore has Dengue ? A first world nation but it
can't control the spread of it. =) Mate, if you understand chinese
culture at all, Taiwan has more of a traditional culture then
China. Mao Tze Tung's party rulled for many years oppressing the
people's culture and growth.
Taiwan has it's pros. Citizens and work permit holders are
entitled to universal health care and dental. High income taxes for
forigen works, to control the influx of work permit holders.
Natural beauty, landscape and people with great characters and
culture. Yes, the fear of China taking over one day is there, and
the fact that the UN does not recognize Taiwan's independence. But
maybe that might not be a bad thing after all should China decide
to take em back like HK.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions but having the experience
living there, i look forward to the day my company sends me back to
manage there again.
