Should you stay or should you go?

Alain’s reason for currently residing in Taiwan is to remain with his long-time girlfriend Jasmine. The two plan wed in the summer 2008. Beforehand, the couple had seen many challenges. Alain left Taiwan after working for two years to live and work in China.
“I moved to Shanghai, but I was still going out with my girlfriend, Jasmine,” he said. “We did the long-distance relationship thing—she came to see me in China, and I went to Taiwan to see her. After about a year and a half, Jasmine came to Shanghai for three months. A few months after she had returned to Taiwan, I returned to Taiwan to be with her.”
Alain and Jasmine currently plan to stay in Taiwan for the next two or three years–then possibly relocate to China, Japan, Russia, Canada or even just stay in Taiwan.
As for Harry, his decision to stay in Taiwan is still up in the air. “I’ll either be back home in one year or I will settle down here with a local. If I do go back to Canada, I do plan on doing small stints in Korea, because as Canadians, we get a longer stay. It would be easy to make some quick bucks there.”
As for myself, I’m a satisfied vagabond. I spent almost two years in Taiwan before moving back to Canada.
Positively or Negatively? I see both but I think that some time home will give me a clearer perspective. iT!
Permit Problems will be concluded tomorrow in The Weekly Wanderer.
