Sayaka has written a wonderful little summary (in Japanese) of why she thinks Taiwan is a fantastic place for students wanting to study abroad. It is mainly geared towards Japanese students but I have to say that personal experiences from a few short trips to Taiwan confirm almost all of her points, both positive and negative.
Also, don’t miss her posting (in English) about some Japanese Fanta commercials that came up during her Chinese language class. You can watch the commercials with Chinese subtitles here. UPDATE: Matt has a great posting explaining each of the Fanta commercials.
