The Conversation:

Eryk Smith has worked for a local magazine, an English-language newspaper, ICRT, and now as a freelance writer/ journalist/ DJ.  We talked about coming to Taiwan at a young age, growing up, third culture kids, the changes he has seen, and his overall perspective of Taiwan.

Questions:

Did you get the opportunity to live in other places in Taiwan?

What other changes have you seen over the last twenty years?

What is one thing that you would change about Taiwan?
