It has been a month since my last post, longer than I anticipated. It was a busy month: securing an apartment in Taiwan, visiting Hong Kong, welcoming my family, enrolling my kid in a new school, seeing my wife off to the US, and transitioning from vacation to a more standard living mode. All these changes occurred against a backdrop of global turmoil. Seriously, my move to Taiwan and global economic turmoil? Name a better duo. For context, the last time I moved to Taiwan, the 2008 financial crisis happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home base in Taipei – setting up shop in the city for the next few months<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
