Well I don't know how to put this. But I woke up yesterday morning only to find a pile of human feces outside my door. Ok I understand it is their country, but do they really need to find the most gruesome ways possible to remind me that they can do whatever they want to me and there's nothing I can do about it?

Was it placed there purposely or was it an accident? If purposely, it is obviously a statement. Have you upset someone?

No. I don't even talk to any of the people in my apartment complex. I am perfectly well behaved. I don't even have visitors at all.

You didn't answer the first part of my question. If it as put there purposely, it is obviously a statement, and a nasty one. I'd be fuming. You might wanna talk with your neighbours or the security guard in your block about this incident.

I believe it was on purpose. It was a big pile. Like three different people squat there and did their thing. I talked to the other people and some laughed or kept saying sorry I don't know.

This is why a lot of EFL teachers dont want to teach English to the locals...as they (the locals) pay us in LOCALLY MADE wages... Laughing

Well that really is foul. Have you just moved into this place or have you been there a while? If the latter, has anything like this happened in the past? If it has, then I think someone is sending you a message that they don't like foreigners and want you out. You might want to report it to the police in case something else happens again later. Are there no CCTV cameras around?

I see a disturbing trend throughout ASIA....they are now not as welcoming EFL teachers as before...this POO PILE incident at one's front doorstep is likely to happen more often in the near future....unfortunately we are being seen as the "foreign enemy' in their "local" neighboorhoods!!! Shocked

I really don't know what it is about my skin color that makes people so upset. And yes there are cameras around. Yes I went to the police. They laughed at me.

I remember the saying "Ilha formosa. Taiwan will touch your heart". Yes I am sick of people posting videos on youtube and making other blogs about Taiwan telling you just what you wanna hear and making you think Taiwan is that great.

Why is Taiwan so overrated?

Is it? People rarely post here and many that do, myself included, are quite critical of the place. My advice is to use this incident to your advantage and leave the country in search of greener pastures. There's nothing sadder than seeing foreign Teflers stuck in a place like Taiwan when there are so many other better options around Asia. The only folks that talk up Taiwan are the ones that are married to local woman and are stuck there.
