Living abroad, for the most part, is not easy; especially if you have children. The purpose of this BLOG is to provide updates for our family in Canada. In addition, I hope to help those of you living or considering living in Taiwan by sharing our experiences with you. Before I delve into specific situations of our life here, I want to provide a brief history.

After graduating from university in Canada, my wife and I got married in 1998. Once married, we promptly made plans to move to South Korea to teach English. Just before we had to pay for our plane tickets, the Korean economy crashed and the Won was devalued. All of our hopes for travel and adventure were crushed until we found out about a little country called Taiwan. Arrangements were made, jobs were found, tickets were purchased and soon, we were off!
