| The Bei SanMin and NanKing Rd branches are located in the North Eastern region of Taipei City. We are two sister branches situated only four bus stops apart making it convenient for Native Speaking Teachers (NSTs) to teach between the two branches. We have a total of eight NSTs in our team coming from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA. A few of our NSTs study Chinese either in a fulltime course or on a part time basis, some of our NSTs have their family here and others have their own pursuits to follow. We are all here to work, but there is also more to life than just working. Taipei is a fast paced city, but you soon become accustomed to the lifestyle here and you will find it amazing and rewarding living and working in Taipei City. |

| Welcome to the Bei SanMin Branch. We are situated near the corner of SanMin Rd and NanKing East Rd not far from the MingSheng Community in Taipei City.

Our part-time NSTs also teach at HLS at either both our SanMin HLS and our sister branch, the NanKing HLS or one of the other HLS branches located within Taipei City including the MinChuan, SongChiang, Hsin-Yi and SongShan branches which are all easily accessible by bus. |

| Living |
| SanMin and NanKing NSTs live in all different areas of Taipei City and County. We have one NST who lives within the MingSheng Community and has an eight-minute walk to the branch while we have one NST who lives in Taipei County and commutes by both bus and MRT. The other NSTs are scattered around Taipei City and commute by either bus or motor scooter. As we are so convenient to other Taipei City branches finding a roommate isn’t usually difficult. The cost of housing can vary depending on what style of housing you choose. Our Taipei County NST pays NT$11,000 for a comfortable 2 bedroom apartment living by himself while one of our Taipei City NSTs shares a three bedroom apartment and pays NT$10,000 for his share of the rent. Some NSTs pay more than this figure, but most pay less. Still, it is quite affordable living in Taipei, working as an NST. |
