If I remember correctly, the guy who is setting this program up is an American. He's religious and spent 6 years in Nagoya, Japan teaching.
I talked to them about a job.
I turned the job-offer down.
He seemed like a really friendly guy.
Don't remember his name or where the positions were located - All I know is that they were in the South.
It also sounded like a lot of work!
The ad was in the China post back in December maybe???
I also remember thinking that their expectations were very high in terms of the quality of people they were looking for and the amount of hours they expected from the teachers.
About that murder - I understand that it was an accident and that it was investigated thoroughly. The woman was very drunk and slipped and took a tumble down some stairs and suffered a head injury.
In short form, what is your explanation?
Yrs. |

What do you know that the police don't?
Doesn't sound like murder.
She was drunk, slipped on some stairs, took a tumble and suffered a head injury.
I thought I read about this a while ago on tealit.com, maybe.

I assume you now want the long version.
Let's see.
First we will start with Chaiyi itself. The self proclaimed capital for organized crime in Taiwan. I think it is wishful thinking on someone's part but I am not an expert. I only know that at least one of the Chaiyi representatives to the national legislator was elected from a jail cell. The mayor was elected in a similar fashion. What were they in jail for? Corruption and violent crime, of course. After they bought their respective electoral seats the got a pardon from the rest of the criminals in the national legislator, they began running the place.
Second, their is a confirmed organized crime connection . She was being pursued and stalked by at least one associate of the the local triad. She attempted to escape and found herself back in Chaiyi.
Third, her friends knew what was going on and fled the country shortly after her death.
Fourth, the body was cremated before a second independent autopsy could be conducted.
The list goes on, on and on.
The most conclusive proof is the police efficiency involved in closing this case, nearly unheard of except in cases involving organized crime.
This is Taiwan, anyone who comes here enters at their own risk. All the information is out their. All a person has to do is look, or talk to people who have been here. Be careful and use common sense.

So, I've heard that Taiwan is dangerous - Tidal waves, earthquakes, flood....and organized crime.
