Taiwanderful is an English community website about Taiwan and Taiwanese culture, aiming to encourage the development of useful information in English about Taiwan.

 

I am delighted to invite you all to visit and take part in a new community website dedicated to Taiwan called “Taiwanderful - the Taiwan guide“.

Most people who know me are well acquainted with my bizarre passion for everything remotely related to Taiwan. My time in Taiwan has been one of the best experiences of my life, and that’s something I often try to share with others.

A while ago, when I was in Brisbane-Australia’s public library looking for a potential East-Asia destination there was little to no information about Taiwan. It was by complete accident that I came across Taiwan, which I knew very little about at the time, mentioned in an old guidebook as the Republic of China. I searched through the library and found the Taiwan’s Lonely Planet mentioning how warm and friendly Taiwanese people are, but the way Lonely Planet was organized and written confused me allot. It was only by the help of two online guides written by Taiwanese bloggers - David on Formosa and Michael Turton - that I decided on visiting Taiwan, and when I decided to stay for long those same guides helped me find a good Mandarin school and get settled in Taiwan. I am extremely grateful for them both.

Working together with David, and based on his guide, I built “Taiwanderful - the Taiwan guide” as a community that would try and promote quality information about Taiwan.

Things you can do on Taiwanderful - the Taiwan guide:

• Browse and contribute to existing Taiwan guides. David’s guide to Taiwan has been imported to Taiwanderful and further expanded by David. If you want - start a new Taiwan related guide.
• Browse and contribute the Taiwan link-directory.
• Get updates for Taiwan events or add new Taiwan events on the Taiwanderful event calendar.
• Write your own Taiwanderful blog about Taiwan.
• Read and take part in the Taiwanderful forums.
• Browse latest news , forums and blogs about Taiwan.

The community is what’s important and we would like to see more people join and contribute their experiences and information regarding Taiwan. Taiwanderful is offering revenue sharing and referral rewards, so that those who contribute to the growth of the knowledge-base or the community will be rewarded for their efforts.

So, come have a look, and I would love to see you join in and take part in the community. If you’d like to help promote this project, I’d be grateful if you’d help spread the word about Taiwanderful - the Taiwan guide by linking or by writing a review, and I do encourage you to register and use the referral rewards model.
