Moving to a new country isn't easy. When Melanie Ritter and her husband moved to Taipei, Taiwan, they faced unfamiliar customs and unexpected challenges in their daily lives. Throw in a lack of linguistic ability, and you have the perfect storm. Melanie talks about her experiences of taking her first steps in a new country and all that entails - cultural misunderstandings, significant realizations, and most importantly, the small victories that come with immersing yourself in a new culture. By humorously sharing her own experiences, she takes the reader on a journey while offering practical tips on language, traveling within the country, navigating the healthcare system, and maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle. This book is an insightful and pleasant glimpse into the daily life of an expat in East Asia.
