I thought I would throw a book suggestion onto our blog. If you are planning on moving to Taiwan, you need to get this book. Asian culture is a new thing for me. It's been the most different culture I've lived in yet. I'm enjoying it, but I honestly don't understand a lot about it. I'm so fortunate to work with some awesome locals who help me out and introduce me to things that I would never experience on my own. This book gave me a spring board to being conversations. From holidays to cultural customs and history to religion, I learned many things that would have left me puzzled without an explanation. I would read a chapter or two on the metro ride to work then ask my friends how they explained the topic or experienced it in their home. I see things I could have walked right by without noticing and now I have a bit of understanding.
