I lived in taipei for about 6 years and after moving a few times there are things i expected and my friends did as well. A furnished flat is always good. Most forgeiners take their furniture from the garbage. Centrally located is important. Most English teachers are in Taiwan for a working holiday and if they come home from teaching and there isnt anything to do locally they wont rent from you for long. Being clean is very important. An outside space either on the rooftop or a balcony is also very important.

For real English man, it will be difficult for him to adapt in a Hokkien/Mandarin society as the expectation has a great gap to close up. For an English teacher from S’pore, it will be easy and much more fanciful to live on a chinese ground.

Junk-wei~ if you are wanting to rent the apartment to English teacher (which I think is your question), the most important thing that “I” have looked for in a new apartment is that it is clean and is not too small. Usually these are the first things that I look for the second would be price and location. If the apartment is too far from the city or it is in an older building then the price should be lower than if it is in a new 電梯大樓 (high rise apartment) or if it is a 別墅 or a 普通住宅. The last thing that I look at is if it is a 公寓家具 (furnished apartment), if it is furnished then I am willing to pay little more for the apt. than if I have to bring everything myself. I guess most things that we look for in an apartment are the same things that Taiwanese people look for in their apartments.

Where did you get your fake college degree from? I am a total loser from america. I’m 46, still a virgin and have never dated white woman. Does Oreee-Enul woman like fat, smelly caucasian slobs?
