I've been tech writing in Taiwan for over six years. It's been great.
Good food, friendly people, work directly with the manufacturing engineers on the next to latest technology and learn Mandarin Chinese all at the same time. It's been a cultural bath like no other and I'm just getting lathered up :>).
Feel free to contact me directly (I'm on digest) for more information on living & working out here (I've got lotsa contacts!).
