The Real Taiwan website was started to offer a window on Taiwan to anyone that was interested. The original goal of the site was to be a community site with many authors and contributors. I am looking for people that would like to join me in sharing Taiwan with the world with weekly or monthly articles.

If you are a photographer, filmmaker, writer, musician, or creative type and you’d like to share your work regarding Taiwan with the world please contact me ( therealtaiwan[at] gmail.com). As much as I like doing things for this website, I am starting to get sick of my own writing voice and hope that some new perspectives can shine through. I also live in Tainan, so it is harder for me to get out and see other parts of the island.

The theme is Taiwan, and just about anything is ok. Have a look around the site to see what I have done in the past. I have changed my attitude and grown in my ability running this site, so to be honest, I feel my standards are much higher now than they were before.

I am trying to make the online experience multimedia, and you can see more videos, audio tracks (MP3’s) and photographs accompanying the articles presented. If you can help in any aspect of that that would be great. I love exploring and seeing new places myself, and also love using technology to document and share the experience with others.

If you already have a blog, perhaps you’d like to do a guest article/interview here. I can also do something for your site as well so we can share perspectives if you will…

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to email me. I look forward to seeing what can develop.

Best regards,
