Chris12, If by night life you mean a friendly bar with regulars and an affable bar tender who knows everyone, forget it.
If by night life you mean not having to try so desperately hard to find a girlfriend or reasonable facsimile thereof, forget it.
If you mean something else, please say so.

This is very true. Some people love that aspect of it, I can't stand it. BUT I am very happy to have lived there. So, lot of help I am!

Dude, what train do you take? That only happened to me once in two and a half years (on a moving Kaohsiung bus no less), and she was not someone I wanted rubbing against me. There was perhaps another moment, but that was more of a pseudo- erotic posing thing. There used to be a Trivial Pursuit question about a word that means women who get off teasing men. That describes a lot of Taiwanese women, methinks. Because, if you then try to talk to them (in any language), chances are not good. Compare that with Japan where a similar start could lead to you being very tired a few hours later.

You got that right. And it's probably a little late to tell you this, my friend, but the way to exploit it is not by getting married and having three little ones  |

| I'd go to Tokyo just because of the glamour and glitz of it all. You'll find teaching there more exciting there too, but compettive. Taiwan has an allure, jobs are always in abundance. In Tokyo they'll give you a real looking-over, make sure you're not avove them, so dress demure. |

If there is one thing I could say about teaching in Japan it would be that it is not exciting.

Living in Tokyo is more exciting than living in Taipei but teaching in Tokyo is not.
The students in both countries are annoyingly passive and difficult to motivate at the high school / college level and over rely on the teacher at all ages.
Tokyo is the better city to live in for me because of the choices it offers where as I like Taiwanese people more. |

| I think Taiwanese students are more lively and fun to teach. I'm not saying that they're lively and fun, but that they are more so than Japanese (which ain't difficult). |

Agreed, although all teenagers of a certain age are not interested in study and frankly are a pain in the arse in every country.
I prefer teaching kids to adults, Japan seems to be more adult orientated, where Taiwan is the reverse.
