I think that it probably is global, but only in countries like Thailand where it is quite common and popular for expats to retire there because it is cheap. Taiwan has a lot of expats but they all tend to be professionals who are working, is that right?

Yes you are correct about professionals here in Taiwan, especially lots of English teachers. I remember seeing some rowdy folk in Itaewon, but was limited.

Some friends of mine were teachers in Taiwan for a year or so and no offense, but they said they got pretty bored. They did manage to save a lot of money though!
