I've never seen stuff put together that way and it's incredible. Would you be willing to include download links to larger sizes? Would love to use one of them as a wallpaper.

Wow - I've just discovered this thread. Bacon it's a big thing to live in another country and it seems really exciting. What is crime and public safety like and how do ordinary people and businesses feel about Westerners?

Crime is pretty much non existent here. Obviously there IS crime, but people leave their helmets on their mopeds to go shopping for the day for example, no chav scum at all. And some might think this is a bad thing, there's no real drinking culture here. I liked to get pissed as most Brits do, but it's the cause of so much violent crime/criminal damage etc. there's none of that here. Hardly any litter on the streets too. And people are really friendly to whiteys from what I've experienced so far. You get people staring, but it's just curiosity really.

How is the air quality in Taiwan Bacon? It's pretty terrible here. Every now and then we will have days of clarity, but usually it's pretty hazy. Koreans blame it on China...

Spring time is the worst. My city, like many other parts of Asia suffer from "yellow dust", which floats over from the dry sandy parts of far west China. I know parts of Japan suffer from the same thing, but not sure about Taiwan.

Mind you, just now it is hard to tell the difference between haze and humidity. So strawberry floating humid.

I assume no-one on here's still kicking about over there? Thinking of heading over if I can't find a decent teaching job in Budapest that pays well, I like how some organisations seem to support you with aspects such as finding accommodation and visa requirements. Looks a pretty cool country where you can live comfortably by doing English language teaching.

It's a bit of a drawn out process, and applications wot start until October, but there's always JET and Japan?

Not sure how cheap Taiwan is in comparison, but you can definitely live comfortably on the JET salary. I heard tales that Japan was expensive, but this must be from Americans as it always seems so cheap here compared to Western Europe. Even in Tokyo it's pretty decent.

Did think about JET as I've heard good things - although i can't say Japan particularly appeals to me over other Asian countries as it does to many people - but haven't really looked into it properly. Pretty sure folk had mentioned it's quite a hassle to get on to without prior teaching experience or good knowledge of Japanese culture.
