TaiwanTaiwanese society is generally egalitarian, people

are warm, friendly and interested in visitors from other countries -- foreign nationals living in Taiwan often remark on how easy it is to fit in here. In addition, Taiwan's unique blend of Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian traditions creates an atmosphere that is particularly tolerant of other religions and denominations.

Due to a long and energetic construction boom, housing is relatively inexpensive and rents have actually come down over the last 5 years. A commonly cited average for Taipei housing rental is NTD1,000 per ping (about 3.3 sq meters). A security deposit of at least 2 months is generally required.

Many corporate expats live in modern security apartments in the Tienmu district in North Taipei and Sindian(formerly spelled Hsintien) in Southern Taipei. Prices of course vary according to inclusion of amenities and facilities such as air conditioning and swimming pools. Rental is proportionately less expensive in Taiwan's other cities.

Living & Working in Taiwan

Taiwan is renowned for its delicious food all over Asia. In addition to the island's own unique cuisine -- a myriad of fine foods and dining experiences -- most of the world's favourite food stuffs and beverages are available here.

Taiwan has made great strides in accommodating the staffing needs of international companies with operations in Taiwan. Not only have application requirements and procedures for work permits for foreign nationals been clarified and streamlined through the consolidation of what was once the domain of many different agencies into a single window, many restrictions have either been lifted or significantly relaxed for multinationals, thus allowing for greater hiring flexibility.

IndiaIndia is an intriguing country. It is an

ancient land, with great cultural richness and a fascinating history. It is also a young country, struggling to form an egalitarian and democratic society. Both ancient and modern India coexist. Passions and turmoil of great antiquity are intertwined with the challenges and pleasures of modern technology. The resulting images are confusing, both to the outsider looking in and to Indians themselves.

Great religions developed and spread from India. Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs trace their roots from India. India has the second largest Muslim population in the world and is home to Animists, Christians, Zoroastrians, Bah'a'is, Jews, and others.

Living & Working in IndiaBusiness wise, India is opening up and international companies are testing the

waters. Foreign companies, large and small, are sending employees from abroad to live and work in India. Foreign consultants are coming. So are specialist, educators, trainers, and others. These people are making India their home, at least for a while.

More recently, spectacular economic growth and the explosion of offshore outsourcing in India have brought even greater economic and social changes to India and its population.

An international assignment to India is an exciting but challenging prospect and you will need to adapt immediately to a new set of cultural rules including different attitudes to status and hierarchy, communication styles and time management. One of the major forces of globalization in India has been in the growth of outsourced IT and business process outsourcing (BPO) services.

India economy: StatisticsIn 2010, India’s PPP Gross Domestic Product stood at over $4 trillion, and was the

fourth largest economy by volume. The services sector, backed by the IT revolution, remained the biggest contributor to the national GDP, with a contribution of 58.4%. The industry sector contributed 24.1% and the agriculture sector contributed 17.5% to the GDP.

The employment scenario was dominated by the services sector, creating 62.6% of the jobs for the 467 million workforce. The industry sector contributed 25.8% to the GDP and employed 20% of the workforce. The agriculture sector contributed 15.8% to the GDP and created 17.5% jobs (India Labour Force). The unemployment rate remained around 10% in 2010. However, rising inflation became a major concern, and measures to check it are being implemented. In 2010, the rate of inflation was around 8.6% (India Inflation Rate Change).
