For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, I’m actually based in Taiwan . I’m married to a local lady, and we live in Tamsui, which is a lovely sea town north of Taipei. We live in the town, but we are very near some beautiful natural environments, riverside and mountains! So if you see us, say hi!

We’ve lived here in Tamsui for about 5 years, but for much longer, I have noted in the Taiwanese a tremendous willingness to do business. In fact, in this area, there are a plethora of small business that are quite unique to Taiwan, and don’t have allegories in the U.K.

Over the next few months, I’m going to feature small businesses I find in Taiwan, and discuss their ins-and-outs. Naturally, I’m no expert, but I’ll try to provide a realistic idea of what makes them unique, and what value you could take away from studying them, and their approach to doing business.

#1 is coming up on Monday!… Smells good, too!
