What should I pack when moving to Taiwan?
We asked people living in Taiwan to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Taiwan, it is important to pack items that will make the transition easier. Clothing for all seasons is essential, as Taiwan has hot summers and cool winters. Comfortable shoes are also important, as Taiwan is a very walkable country. It is also a good idea to bring a few items from home to make the transition easier, such as photos, books, and other personal items. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and other important paperwork. Finally, it is a good idea to bring a few items to help with the language barrier, such as a phrasebook or dictionary," commented one expat who made the move to Taiwan.
