"It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. "

Officially Taiwanese / Chiwanese

I am offi­cially Taiwanese!

It is pretty great as I can stay in Tai­wan for as long as I’d like to stay with no restric­tions any­more. I can also work here with­out hav­ing to apply for a work­ing visa. I’m also now able to move to a total of 28 coun­tries (incl. Euro­pean Union coun­tries) with­out restric­tion. How cool is that?

I will likely stay in Tai­wan for a long time I think. Depends on the sit­u­a­tion, what hap­pens, if I’m still happy here, or if I meet any­one etc. I can already fore­see  many sce­nar­ios which can take place good and bad. So depends on the sit­u­a­tion whether or not I stay in Tai­wan. How­ever I can def­i­nitely see myself here for a good few years. — Which will hope­fully let my Chi­nese advance to higher lev­els as I become assim­i­lated into the Tai­wanese cul­ture and life-style!

But yeah it is funny. The nation­al­ity is Tai­wanese here from what I can under­stand, yet on all ‘Tai­wanese pass­ports’, it says “The Repub­lic of China (ROC)”. Which is why I have included ‘Chi­wanese’ in this title. But don’t worry, I know I’m Tai­wanese. *wink*

But, there is a catch! I have to do 11 months of Tai­wanese mil­i­tary ser­vice. *Oh, shit* Was this worth it? :P
