    I really liked this video! I taught in Korea and China, and I've been considering teaching in Taiwan. Now that I have my substitute teaching license, I just might take the plunge. I have a couple of questions, if you have the time. Did you make those PPTs, or does the school supply them? I prefer schools that have premade lessons. I'd hate to have to make a curriculum from scratch. Thanks!

  • @jahdavlogs615

    First off I'd like to say it is nice to find content specifically on Teaching English in Taiwan because honestly that seems a little difficult to find; recent and as a black person no less! Second, and this is probably unorthodox but, I'm quite curious as to how you were able to amass that spice cabinet you had in the cut of your video?
    Korea, Thailand, Taiwan are countries I've been looking into a lot personally and I only know of Big-C in Thailand and the general 7/11 in the rest. Do they have stereotypical "American" spices there? Can you amazon them? Is DHL the go to for getting those or do you just ask folks back home (wherever that is) to ship them to you?
    I've discovered in my travels I can't live without decent Mexican food somewhere and I'm decent enough at home and I wanna make sure I got my spices on deck!

    • @NneniaYasmeen
      @NneniaYasmeen Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you for watching! Taiwan has a nice assortment of seasonings in their grocery stores but they taste different to me. I like to buy mine from Costco here. Amazon delivers here but I’ve never ordered spices from there. You can also have spices shipped from home but I’m not sure if/how that’s been affected since the pandemic.
      Mexican food is one of my favorites and I don’t know of any authentic restaurants here. Unfortunately I don’t cook it at home but I’d def recommend bringing the required spices you need for dishes like that!
