I’m a Canadian who lived in LA for 6ish years. I moved to Taiwan a year ago (time flies!) Saying the culture is different from my Canadian/British upbringing is an understatement hahaha. I’m still getting used to all the holidays being different (almost forgot about “Tomb Sweeping Festival” this year). The biggest one I’ve noticed is people actually show up on time when you make plans with them. In Los Angeles I’d have 25 people say they’d meet somewhere, and maybe 5 actually show up. Traffic was the main excuse in LA, but with public transit being so great in Taipei I've noticed people flake much less often. All in all if you’re even remotely considering moving here, even for just a year to pick up Mandarin, I highly recommend it. I doubled my lifestyle and halved my costs compared to LA, and the people here are even more friendly than Canadians.
