Taiwan

   

Taiwan is the island off the coast of China currently disputing its allegiance to China.

Capital is Taipei.

There is a page on Taiwan Rules

Malweth - I'm heading to the Taipei region (Chung-li) late summer this year and wondered what kinds of Go resources I might be expected to find? Just wish I spoke Mandarin...

gimpf: Don't worry about Mandarin, although taiwanese people can speak it, they have their own, quite different dialect too :) And, if this wouldn't be enough, enjoy the traditional chinese characters instead of those we learn in our language courses...

Malweth - Yes, I'm told that even if you spoke some Mandarin, there's a good chance of getting a Taxi driver who only speaks Taiwanese. I will be looking at Chinese Go Terms though!

taiji : Having spent some time in taiwan and being married to a taiwanese, I found it quite difficult to find any go players in the south (hsinying, cha yi, kenting).. or any 'serious' go materials at all. Plastic stones and cardboard boards are plentiful though because children like to play wuzeqi (gomoku). As for mandarin/taiwanese dialects, everyone speaks mandarin now, or so I am told or so I heard.
