DAY TOUR – RELOCATION & ORIENTATION (Taipei & Taichung)

Starting from NTD $2.100

“Culture shock,” is a unique and complex aspect of relocation… When expatriates experience culture shock, it can lead to dissatisfaction and an early return home.
For companies who invest money to send an employee and his/her family to a different country, it’s extremely important to consider this aspect to avoid losses of money and time.
Although it is well known that spouses are mostly prone to get tangled into these discomforts, culture shock can affect any member of a family going through the process of relocation.
This tour is specifically designed for those expats who are moving to Taiwan for a short or a long period. It could be difficult sometimes to adapt to a new situation and language. The best way to avoid the “cultural shock” is to know the place you live and be able to be free and independent as soon as possible and feel comfortable to move around the city.

What could my new neighborhood look like? Is the traffic as hectic as I was told?  How to use public transportation? Do you know you can call a taxi from any 7/11 or Family Mart shop from the automatic service machine? Are there any International schools ?  Can my kids walk to school across the street, or would they join the school five blocks away and need transport?  What is the nearest hospital? Are good medical services nearby? And how do they speak English? Where do I go with my kids on a rainy Sunday afternoon? Where can I get groceries? Or where I can buy a specific product? Where are the schools, shops, entertainment facilities? . Consulates, embassies, travel agents?

Everyone has concerns and questions about relocating. There is no better way than to see for yourself. The orientation tour is tailored to each family ensuring that it addresses individual concerns and highlights the major aspects of living in Taiwan.
Let us help to replace the anxiety feeling with the enjoyment of living in a new location!
