AirBNB

We have joined AirBnb.  Our first AirBnB placement is in the SongShan district.  Even though it is in the center of town, it is incredibly quiet.  Our host, Yogee is as helpful as can be, even letting us arrive early.  He rents out two rooms and our first roommate was a Korean man in the next room.. After that, a German fellow joined our household.  It is so comfortable that we feel part of the family.  Barbara has been all over town looking for jobs.  Even though there is an excellent underground train, she still spends about 2 hours trying to locate the schools.  She had two interviews.  One of them seems very casual, but the other is just the opposite and she is not interested.  Apparently she had a bad experience with some school in Vietnam to which I heard her referring as she walked down the street after non casual school interview.

We spent our last Taipei night in a new BnB.  This one better reflects the city-clean, spacious, airy.  The last one was a bit musty and dark which was a good transition from Vietnam.  We went to our first night market, the Raohe, which is literally right around the corner.  Tomorrow we go to the railroad which is literally right across the street. We depart to Tainan, a smaller city where Barbara hopes to find a job.  We will stay in a BnB run by a couple of teachers who promise to help Barbara find a job.

Note:  If you are thinking to join AirBnb, check with your friends for a referral.  You both get some dough
