Taiwan is a small island located between East Asia and Southeast Asia

Taiwan's climate is subtropical, with an average annual temperature of around 23^oC rising to 35^oC in the summer. Lightweight clothing should be worn for most of the year, with sweaters and coats needed only in the winter.

Rich with culture and history, Taiwan (formerly called Formosa by Portuguese colonists) offers an incomparable east-meets-west setting. Here, Chinese, Taiwanese and aboriginal cultures blend with a hyperactive consumer's society and an intense curiosity towards foreign values and lifestyles. This, along with Taiwan's economic miracle and island-wide demand for better English education, provides a unique setting for visitors seeking a first-hand experience of Asia.

The wages and cost of living for foreign English teachers stand among the world's best; thus ensuring Western-quality living standards. By all accounts, coming to Taiwan makes for a rich cultural experience, without culture shock.
