Welcome to Squatting Taiwan, a website and blog about my adventures in Taiwan. I’m a software engineer from the San Francisco Bay Area. I started learning Mandarin a decade ago, mainly as an extension to my martial arts activities and interest in Chinese culture. As I was learning traditional Chinese, Taiwan had a natural appeal.
Since then I have travelled to Taiwan twice for vacation and most recently for three months (business trip), made many Taiwanese friends and became conversational in Mandarin.
Taiwan is an exceptional place with wonderful things to offer with unparalleled convenience, a rich culture, amazingly friendly and kind people, freedom and safety. I sometimes feel that Taiwan is like a huge Disneyland – so much fun to be had, so many different things to see within a relatively small territory, all in a safe and happy environment.
What Taiwan taught me is that happiness is normal. It’s part of daily life and is the most natural thing.
Did I mention I like to squat in random places?
歡迎來到蹲台灣，這是一個關於我在台灣的冒險經歷的網站和博客。我是舊金山灣區的一名軟體工程師。十年前我開始學習普通話，主要是為了擴展我的武術活動和對中國文化的興趣。因為我學習繁體中文，台灣對我有一種天然的吸引力。
從那以後，我曾兩次去台灣度假，最近一次是三個月（出差），結交了很多台灣朋友，並且我的中文進步了很多。
台灣是一個特殊的地方，提供無與倫比的便利、豐富的文化、非常友好和善良的人民、自由和安全。有時我覺得台灣就像一個巨大的迪斯尼樂園——在一個相對較小的領土上玩得很開心，在一個安全和快樂的環境中可以看到很多不同的東西。
台灣教會我的是幸福是正常的。這是日常生活的一部分，是最自然的事情。
我有沒有提到我喜歡在隨機的地方蹲下？
