Diary - July 01, 2019: Moving to Ilan I just moved to Ilan for two weeks. I had been working in Taipei City for around three years. I moved to Taipei since I worked there. Living in Taipei is so-so for me. Some people like to stay in Taipei because it is very convenient to go shopping, visit museums, and go to see a movie, etc. However I only do these things when I really need to do, I do not do these things to kill the time. Therefore moving to Ilan is not a very big event for me. While there are things I really need to get used to. First, the air is fresher than Taipei because the size of Ilan is bigger than Taipei and the air pollution is not as serious as Taipei; second, the neighbors are passionate, people live nearby are closer than in Taipei; third, the public transportation is not as convenient as Taipei, to go out I have to ride my scooter or drive a car; fourth, to me, the job opportunities in Ilan are less than in Taipei and the job style I can look for are relatively limited because I am an office lady. Ilan is located in Northeast of Taiwan and is famous for tourist places for relaxing. It is called Taiwan’s backyard because Ilan is beautiful and it only takes around one hour to drive from Taipei through Taipei County to Ilan County via Xueshan Tunnel.
