That's exciting! Are you looking forward to the move to Taipei, or is there a bit of nervousness about relocating?

I am a little nervous because this is the first time for me to live and work at foreign country. But same time I'm looking forward to move Taipei so much. Three years ago I traveled Taiwan, and since this trip, I like Taiwan.
