Taichung - from an English Teacher's Perspective
Taichung is conveniently located in the middle of Taiwan allowing for easy accept to everything. Taiwan is a relatively small country and access from top to bottom is pretty fast and simple, but being close to the middle really makes it better.
Taichung has a population of about one million, making it Taiwan's third largest city. One of the things most appealing about this city is the laid back atmosphere and it’s reputation as an educational and cultural center. The nightlife here rivals that of Taipei so for teachers looking to have a good time out, this can be a lot of fun.
Jingming 1st Street is an artery reserved for pedestrians and this place is full of entertainment and shops and is a haven for teachers and a good time.

“I had been teaching ESL in Europe and Asia for four years when I contacted Footprints. Before I found Footprints, I was independently searching for a position in Seoul and I was extremely hesitant to pursue any of the contracts that I was offered. The schools and other recruiting firms that I came into contact with were offering contracts with suspicious clauses and inadequate housing. I knew that Ben and Jeff ran a professional service as soon as I spoke to them on the phone. I have since completed my one year contract in Seoul and can honestly say that everything went well from beginning to end. Although Korea is not always the easiest place to live, Footprints makes the transition so much smoother. Footprints is upfront, honest and dependable. I would highly recommend their service for anyone considering teaching abroad and would not hesitate to re-sign with Footprints in the future.”
