This month we talk to a young couple about their time teaching English in Taipei. Zach and Shay are high school sweethearts who made the move to Taiwan from Chicago. Read on to hear about their unique and interesting insights into Taiwanese culture and their observations on life in Taiwan. Hi Guys! Thanks for joining us today. Let’s start with a short introduction, please. To start, our names are Zach and Shay. We are both in our early twenties. We met in high school, and we have been together ever since (seven years). Our hometown is the suburbs of Chicago, but we both lived in the city for five years while attending university. Zach: I attended DePaul University in Chicago where I studied Political Science. I love living in big cities. The crowds, the nightlife, and diversity of environments are all big draws for me. At the same time, I love getting away from said city and its high-energy and high-traffic life and out into nature and its tranquility. Shay: I spent a ridiculous amount of money studying architecture at the School of Art institute in Chicago. However, I like to tell myself it was all worth it because I loved my

Still have things to cross off your “Things to do in Taipei” bucket list? I know I do. So for this month’s event, I’m taking us on a hike that’s right in the heart of our amazing city: Elephant Mountain. Elephant Mountain is just a short walk from the base of Taipei 101, …and about a twenty-minute hike up to the top. (Note: Even though it’s a short hike, it consists of mostly stairs… so be prepared). It will all be worth it once we make it to the viewing area; it’s supposed to be one of the BEST views of the city. We can then continue on and check out the rest of the hikes in that area, or we can end there and all get lunch together. If anyone is interested in the hike but would rather go for sunset, let me know. It’s supposed to be packed with people on the weekends, especially at night, but if everyone would rather have night views of the city then we can definitely change the time! When: Sunday, February 19th Time: 12pm Meet: Taipei City Hall MRT, Exit 2 Cost: Free, but bring $ for lunch if interested Bring:

I should’ve known we were in trouble when we were offered a special discounted drinks menu with beers for 100 NT and shots for 50NT. A recipe for disaster you might say. Nope, apparently it’s the perfect recipe for a great Saturday night (and a not so great Sunday morning hangover!) These photos were taken upstairs at On Tap, smiles all round as usual from the Reach to Teach gang. It was nice to see some familiar faces and catch up with everyone. I hope that everyone enjoyed the evening and that the hangover on Sunday was worth it! Details about the next Reach to Teach event will be posted soon, so keep your eye out and make sure you get involved! If you have any ideas or suggestions for a future event which you would like us to organise, then please get in touch.
