Definitely resonates. We are planning on living in Taiwan with our daughter (she is 2) especially when we have a 2nd kid but really don’t want to participate in the non-stop pressure to always be doing school (my wife grew up in it too)

We are exploring living on the east coast and homeschooling and also just potentially living in chiang mai where everything is far more relaxed.

Yeah there's def a lot of pressure here. East coast is great bc of the air and water quality, also quality of life, and some good schooling options outside the intensive academic rigor.

I don't know much about Chiang Mai but trust your gut and anyway you can always make adjustments as you learn~

I'm working with a team to open a micro school in Taipei next year bc we really feel there needs to be more options for families here. I also am working on a rec center for kids in Yilan. Hopefully we can have more diverse options for families in the future!
