About this project
One day I watched a foreigner being interviewed by a television news reporter while exiting customs in CKS Airport; she said she couldn’t find any tourism information about Taiwan in all of the traveling agencies in her country. That’s when I came up with the idea of doing this podcast, I like to introduce this interesting island, especially from a foreigner's perspective. 我看到一則電視新聞，一位外籍旅客在中正機場的出境大廳接受訪問，她說在她的國家裡，完全找不到任何台灣觀光團的行程或資訊，使我開始有了製作"What's up in Taiwan"的想法。 ▶️ Download this intro

WuiT #062: Catherine & Miranda
Filed Under: Central Taiwan, Girls Talk.Download this interview!Many of the foreigners in Taiwan prefer to stay in the big cities when they visit Taiwan, but there are exceptions. Catherine is a young lady from Florida; she actually asked the school she works for to send her to somewhere remote in Taiwan, brave girl. Her meeting with her Taiwanese friend Miranda was like destiny, they became real close friends and taught English and shared their lives together. Catherine will leave the island very soon and move on to her next destination, but we are sure that their friendship will not fade no matter where their futures might take them.Rate Episode #062:***** **** *** ** *

WuiT #061: Chris & Feelin
Filed Under: Sailing, Learning English.Download this interview!Like many of our loyal listeners, Feelin has set up a link in her personal blog to our podcast. We tracked back as always and noticed that she has a great spirit for adventure. Feelin enjoys sailing with her foreigner friend Chris, who introduced her to the sport. We wanted to interview Chris immediately and thought this would be a great chance to talk about friendships between locals with our guests to the island. After the interview, we truly understood why certain things between people have absolutely no boundaries.Rate Episode #061:***** **** *** ** *
