I agree, Taiwan is an excellent place to move and run a startup. I moved to Kaohsiung in Southern Taiwan 1 year ago. The cost of living is very low, the people love Westerners, and it's very safe. Not to mention that the weather is very good all year around. Taiwan is also a great place to learn Mandarin as it's cheap, and the accent is very nice. Hong Kong and Singapore are not bad options, but Taiwan is cheaper. I manage a Kaohsiung City Guide; http://travelkaohsiung.com http://travelkaohsiung.com which has nice pictures and guides for people thinking of coming to here. I do like Taipei, but to draw a comparison, Taipei is bustling like New York, whereas Kaohsiung is more laid back like LA.
