ESL House is based in Taichung in central Taiwan. It is the third largest city and a vibrant cultural, economic and educational centre. It is an ideal base for visits to the north, south, coast and mountains. Taiwan is a shopper's paradise - you can buy anything at any time of the day or night. There are many large shopping centres including department stores and supermarkets, which are very convenient for getting anything you need, as well as the traditional markets.
Nightlife is great.
There are many pubs, discos and night markets to visit. There is also a wide variety of restaurants including Western, Thai, Indian etc, although the local cuisine is much cheaper. In many cases, eating out is as cheap as eating at home. The official language of Taiwan is Mandarin Chinese, although many people also speak local dialects, particularly in the South. Many people can also speak a little English, but it helps to have a basic knowledge of Mandarin.
