Currently, there is no host families program that I know of, but you can try the Buddy Program with Youth Travel Taiwan. Some interesting stuff there. marigel - still clueless with all those links? what ever you’re looking for just web search it or ask something specific.

I'm on the Taiwan scholarship, so I can't take up any work, which at first I thought would be okay, but now I know the Taiwan scholarship is barely enough to sustain a degree student, not to mention a person approaching his 30s studying for a PhD. There's this other issue with me not being a native speaker, and although schools would happily take me in, I can't bare to think that the poor Taiwanese kids would grow up to have my English accent. :P I hope we can somehow find the way to share some more information between universities and PhD students on life here. Following your blog for a while now, I'd say the little that you write about your degree is probably of the only things out there about the topic in English. :P Joanna - thanks, that’s nice to hear.

There's no guarantee that you'll get it, but there's a good chance if you do your job well. Taiwan's really helping out international students with endless funds thrown into the various universities. Just make sure you study with a university. As for where, NCKU-Tainan, where I'm at, has a relatively good Chinese school and cost of living here is very cheap compared to the big cities of China and Taiwan, although the city is bigger than Jerusalem/Tel-Aviv. It's what some foreigners call "The Real Taiwan". If you're into Chinese culture, I would dare say there's no place to better see Chinese culture than here (I'm not sure you'll find it in China). If you have more specific questions - let me know. Good luck.

Last year it was very difficult to get my application ready for NTNU in Taipei and I also almost missed out on applying for a DPU scholarship due to lack of information- which was very frustrating as it would not of taken the so called "service" people I contacted ten seconds to have kept me in the loop. Keep up with the good work and good luck with the PhD! Are you also teaching? This is a great post that will help many perspective students who wish to study in Taiwan.

Stupidly enough, I didn't apply for the Huji-Beida scholarship and now I'm trying to find another way to get to China next year... (or later, if I have to work day and night to sponsor my studies...) If you can give me some directions I'll be soo happy :) please answer me via e-mail, if you can.
