Taipei is the political, economic, educational and cultural center of Taiwan and one of the major hubs in East Asia. Considered to be a global city and rated as an Alpha − City by GaWC, Taipei is part of a major high-tech industrial area. Railways, highways, airports and bus lines connect Taipei with all parts of the island. The city is served by two airports – Songshan and Taoyuan. Taipei is home to various world-famous architectural or cultural landmarks, which include Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, Hsing Tian Kong, Lungshan Temple of Manka, National Palace Museum, Presidential Office Building, Taipei Guest House, Ximending and several night markets dispersed throughout the city. Natural features such as Maokong, Yangmingshan and hot springs are also well known to international visitors.

Taiwan has an area of 35,808 square kilometres (13,826 sq mi), with mountain ranges dominating the eastern two-thirds and plains in the western third, where its highly urbanized population is concentrated. The capital is Taipei, which, along with New Taipei and Keelung, forms the largest metropolitan area of Taiwan. Other major cities include Kaohsiung, Taichung, Tainan and Taoyuan. With 23.57 million inhabitants, Taiwan is among the most densely populated countries in the world.

So you find yourself loving Taiwan and would like to stay here. In a previous podcast, we went over all of the various ways that would allow you to stay on this beautiful island. One of the most common ways is to look for a job which offers visa sponsorship. However, the question is how do we go about finding one? Which websites and resources are effective in Taiwan?

It’s quite interesting how things can change so dramatically within the span of just a few weeks. In Season 1, we did a podcast which detailed what it was like to live in Taiwan during what can be deemed the COVID-19 Era. We had talked about how the Taiwan government implemented certain procedures quickly and was able to minimize the spread in Taiwan compared to the rest of the world. Unfortunately things have gotten worse here lately and we are now at Level 3 with nearly 15,000 cases and over 500 deaths.
