exposing my Fulbright ETA stipend

exposing my Fulbright ETA stipend and how much it costs to live in Taiwan as an expat abroad teaching english. **ALL NUMBERS SUBJECT TO CHANGE **

𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑’𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄
Because a Fulbright scholarship is technically not service work, they won't disrespect you with a "service work" paycheck. Fulbright usually respects you with somewhere around the (lowest) average salary for workers in your placement site-- for Taiwan that meant twice the minimum wage. So google that, and you could probably estimate how much your stipend would be. But remember, every Fulbright site has their own secret sauce, so this might not be as copy and paste as it sounds.

These are the numbers from 2018, so they'll fluctuate based off inflation, changes to cost of living, sales at the bubble tea shop, you name it!

Right, also, I should legally protect myself 😅
