Apparently the other expats are really terrible and you shouldn't believe them when they say how much the country sucks.

and i guess more to the interests of this board:

does anyone know the general atmosphere is toward americans? like if i happened to ask someone for directions in english would they be offended or too shy to say anything?

what are some places worth exploring when i arrive?

taiwan is great. I'm here as an exchange student and believe me, you will love this place. people are extremely nice and welcoming. even if they don't know that much english, they are still very eager to help you. plus taiwan has a beautiful countryside, mountains, beaches... modern cities with night markets everywhere, sunny weather but a little bit too humid for me. anyways, so far I can't complain about taiwan ;)

Taiwan in general is a pretty nice place but kind of boring compared to other Asian countries. As far as Japanese style arcades, I didn't notice any when I was there but there are internet cafes around the place.

that's sort of what i was expecting. probably for the best, i'm ass at fighting games.

I just went to teachaway.com and filled out an application. the qualifications differ based on the job, but a basic example would be 1) do you have a bachelor's degree? 2) if not, do you have an associate's degree and a teaching certification? 3) if no to both, we can't help you.
