Mrrr... we'd probably have different jobs, and possibly be in different cities, and you'd probably have to find your own housing, somehow, since it's not provided... although the provided $35,000 NT (30-something NT = $1 USD) would be sufficient for an apartment in Taiwan... They appear to be $100-200 USD per month, as noted here: http://www.canuckabroad.com/overseasjobs/taiwan/housing.shtml (The page may interest you? It's about teaching english in taiwan...)
