Taipei Living

Today we complete one year in Taipei.

A city absolutely unknown to us a year ago.....and knew little ...we completed a year as a family!

I attended a course in Singapore to be certified as a Professional Trainer and one of the things taught to us trainers was...a Learning Cycle.

The three questions one should ask oneself/group after any milestone or activity.

SO I thought I can analyse my one year stay in the same tempo...

What went well?
What can be done better?
What did I learn?


So what went well in Taipei?

We had a quick settling phase....15 days we were more or less settled...as far as infrastructure and house, school were concerned....Our first 15 days
