Hey , thanks for your post . I emailed several universities yesterday enquiring about an exchange to finish my final year of study . I shall wait to see how they respond . Ideally , it would be perfect for me to have the chance to finish my BA in Taiwan , but that would be almost too good to be true considering the potential complications . And regarding the visiting thing , I do see both sides of the argument but instinctively agree with you . I don ' t truly feel the need to visit . I ' m very adaptable , I know it wouldn ' t phase me . The majority of asian students who came here didn ' t visit prior , and they love it . So I highly doubt , if I am to move to Taiwan , that I will visit before . Overall , I ' m excited by a lot of the feedback I have recieved so far . It sounds like this is an opportunity I cannot miss . So far , from what I ' ve gathered , the two best options are An exchange year to finish my BA Take a gap year , fly over , live with my gf and go find an English teaching job
