Some people are of the opinion that you should get an apartment, buy a scooter, etc. within your first couple of weeks here. I think that's extremely risky. Yes, do come, but don't pay for the big ticket items until you have a job and have been settled in for a while. I can't understand for the life of me why someone would buy a 30,000 NTD scooter, make a 20,000 NTD payment on an apartment, etc. without having found a job first -- seems like a ludicrous waste of money.


You can go to Shida and check the apartments posted there to see if you can find someone who will rent to you short term. That is more advisable. But it is not easy to find a short term apartment if you cannot speak Mandarin.
