O'Sullivans Abroad

David on Formosa
By David: I am Australian and I first came to Taiwan in 1999 and spent a year teaching English and studying Chinese. I had studied Chinese in my final year at university and wanted to go to Taiwan or China to learn to speak Mandarin and also experience living and working in a foreign country. I returned to Taiwan for six months in 2002, before leaving to work for a Taiwanese company in Fujian Province, China. I have travelled extensively throughout Asia and also spent time living and working in China, Thailand and India.

Shu Flies
By Catherine: Shu Flies (舒飛) is about daily life in Taipei, as seen through the eyes of a Taiwanese American expatriate. Taiwan is my version of Treasure Island, minus the pirates (most of the time). Sometimes I write about being an American-born person of Asian descent living in an Asian country, and what it teaches me about race and my own sense of identity. And sometimes I just photos of furry animals.
