Jaywalking Taiwan

News, Photos, Music, Videos, Links, Resources, Musings: All about Taiwan Name: Eric K. Location: Taipei, Taiwan This blog began as a travel blog about my English teaching experiences in Taiwan in Summer 2010. Now that the teaching program is over, I will still continue posting on interesting things I find about Taiwan. During the first three years of this blog, I was mainly located in San Francisco. My aim was that in the near future, I would be able to return to Taiwan to teach English again and resume documenting those experiences. Now, those aspirations have become a reality. I am currently living in Taipei, teaching English at a university, and learning more every single day about my relationship with Taiwan. If you want to learn more about my teaching experiences or what the S.F. State graduate M.A. TESOL program is like, you can take a look at My TESOL Portolio or send me a message. (Updated January 2014) Questions? Comments? Ask me.

Taipei, Jan. 20 (CNA) Foreign nationals in Taiwan who are diagnosed with HIV/AIDS will no longer be subject to deportation according to an amendment passed by the Legislative Yuan Tuesday.

Stone Espressobar

Stone Espressobar isn’t a large coffee shop; they don’t offer a huge menu, they only have two baristas manning the shop, and their venue doesn’t really seat that many people. But where they are limited by capacity (as many coffee shops in Taipei are), they make up in quality and breadth. In particular, they do a good job of appealing to a wide variety of customers who may be going to a coffee shop for different reasons.
