About Me

I started teaching English to adults in language cram schools and became a public primary school teacher afterwards. I worked there for more than ten years. I enjoyed helping students learn English efficiently and develop their communication skills. I like doing light sports, such as brisk walking, jogging, and listening to pop music.

I live alone in Taichung, the second most populous city in Taiwan. There are lots of places worth seeing and visiting, and I’d be happy to show you around. As for Mandarin Chinese learning and cultural experience, I’ll use my unique way to teach you and do my best to make your visit and learning worthwhile. See you!

Description

I live in an apartment with a sitting room, a dining room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It’s on the 3rd floor of an 8-story building which houses more than 200 apartments. The building has 24 hours security and uses a sensor button to get in and take the elevator. The courtyard on the ground floor provides a nice open space.

The spacious guest room has a wooden floor with simple Japanese-style tatami bedding. There’s a desk and a large wardrobe for guests to study and store their belongings. Guests are also welcome to use the kitchen and small balcony.

Location

Neighbourhood

The apartment is located in a central area of the city. It provides super convenient access to stores, restaurants, and other amenities. The nearest store is only a two-minute walk. A few bus stops and U-bike stations within walking distance can take you anywhere in Taichung.

If you enjoy eating out, many snack bars and restaurants in the area that allow you to taste all kinds of authentic and reasonably priced Taiwanese food. If you crave western fast food such as McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King, and Subway, a short walk will take you to these restaurants.
