  • Moving to Taiwan is an exciting time but finding an apartment in Taiwan can be stressful, especially if it's your first time. These are my apartment hunting tips to find apartments and living in Taipei, Kaohsiung, or any location in Taiwan.
    對不起,沒有中文字幕,因為這部影片對來台灣的外國人有幫助! 下週見。字幕將返回。
    I also answer some questions provided to me thanks to @LayersOf_Jenn and her audience. Thanks for joining me in this video and I hope you find it helpful!
    I've used both of the methods below &I share my experiences in this video.
    My recommendations:
    1. Search FaceBook groups, especially if you can only communicate in English
    2. For more options check out this website: rent.591.com.tw/ (More options than FaceBook but most landlords need to be communicated with in Chinese unless the ad states otherwise)

    I can confirm that 591 has by far the best apartments and houses. Also can confirm it´s 99% in Chinese only.
    If you can add the agency or the landlord via LINE it´s not a problem tp write in english or use google translator.
    As soon as it comes to a real contract, you definitely need someone you can trust, especially in the "rural" areas in Taiwan.
    Just moved in our new apartment in Miaoli County, and the contract was ...uff... nice people and everything, but no english speaking or writing.
    Also don´t forget the "stamp". I let do everything be done by my girlfriend :D

    • @KaylaCosmos
      @KaylaCosmos  Před 3 lety +1

      Yes! It's definitely helpful to have a friend help in regards to 591. I was able to call landlords (since not all have LINE available on the listings) but a friend had to translate the contract for me! Congrats on your find 😉

    Whooo! Jenn is awesome. I found you when I started researching Taiwan on my own, but Jenn is aboslutely the reason I started researching Taiwan though. lol. I've been following her since Japan. Or at least I THOUGHT I was. CZcams did that thing where I got all the notifications for her videos but apparently was never subscribed? Or it unsubbed me. IDFK. I make sure regularly that I'm subbed now. lol

    • @KaylaCosmos
      @KaylaCosmos  Před 3 lety +1

      Hahaha I think Jenn is the reason a lot of people are interested in Taiwan since they followed her from Japan. If you notice, most viewers of CZcamsrs in Taiwan are Taiwanese since people from the West are usually interested in Japan or South Korea before they think of Taiwan. But I'm glad she has brought her audience here. I think Taiwan will soon be more on the radar for Westerners 🤩

      @@KaylaCosmos It definitely should be. I think the problem, especially in America, is that people get this crazy idea about how AMAZING and life changing Japan is going to be, or how GLAMEROUS and BEAUTIFUL they are going to be in South Korea. Then they get there and the culture isn't much different from America. Work to live, live to work. America even being the most relaxed of those three. lol
      Taiwan seems to have a better mix of living and life. lol I'm sure there are the people who live to work, but it genuinely seems like everyone is more concerned with having a good day/bringing color and light into their lives. I'm just genuinely interested in learning more about Taiwan in general. lol

      @@MarkandMarie Yes! Exactly! Even as a kid I was obsessed with Japan. When I was between places to teach English I didn't pick Japan because of the conformist culture and work ethic being harder. I also thought of South Korea because the money is good but again, maybe a tougher work culture?
      Lastly tho, Taiwan earned my spot because the weather hahaha. I was tired of the cold and Korea and Japan can get quite cold.
      Korea and Japan are definitely both awesome but Taiwan has a lot as well! It just needs something that draws the world in like Japan and Korea do.

    Hi friends, welcome you from Pakistan. I am coming to Taipei in September first week on Employment Gold card Taiwan so looking for a space as a roommate. I am very cooperative, calm and like to sit before my laptop all the time except to go out for explore places and food. Hope to get response from someone soon. Thanks.

    What is center Taipei? Center to what? The thing with Taipei is that it has no so called downtown unlike western cities. Is Neihu the center? Is it Daan? Is it Datung? Is it Xinyi? Is it Sonjiang?.is it Shongjiang?

    How nosy do you find your landlords and neighbors? I am native Taiwanese but too Americanized to put up with invasions of my privacy. I am planning on going back to teach this summer but dreading the busybody culture nightmare of my childhood. Do they leave you alone if you ask?
