MealsThe school serves lunch to its students every weekday. Interns are welcome to eat lunch with the kids. Any other meal is the intern’s responsibility.There are a wide variety of stores, restaurants, and markets nearby that supply a great array of food. Shopping for food can be very entertaining.
Travel
The school provides interns with bikes to ride while they are here. Since the school’s location is very near not only the city, but also the mountains, it only takes a few minutes by bike to get anywhere that you need to go.
Scholarship and Travel ExpensesThe school gives interns $100 for visa expenses, and $500 for travel expenses. A scholarship or stipend is also provided. The amount of the stipend or scholarship is easily enough to get by on while living in Taiwan, and usually enough to save and take home.
