Hi,

I'm a Singaporean living in Taiwan currently. My family relocated there last December but we'll return to Singapore next year.

My husband works in Taiwan while I'm a stay-at-home mum to my two young children. I realise how boring it can be, alone and friendless in a foreign land. Though I'm thankful for the opportunity to spend lots of time with my kiddoes while they are still young, I do wish I have a female friend I can hang out with during weekdays to have tea or chit chat.

I'm keen to make friends with expat mummies so that when I return to Singapore, our kids can hang out and have play dates? (maybe together with my mummy frds in sg too)

You can add me as a contact on Expat.com if you wish. Thk you!

Beldry: Among the members of this forum, there are 142 Singaporeans living in Taiwan. You can find them here:
https://www.expat.com/en/network/asia/taiwan/
But apart from that, there are also nice and friendly Taiwanese (as I know from own experience of living in Hsinchu and Taoyuan for 18 months). Give them a chance, too!
(I've also lived in Singapore for 12 years, so I know what you're missing.)

P.S.: I will ask the moderators to move your post and my reply to the Taiwan forum, since you're more likely to get replies there,

Hi Beppi,

Thanks for the reply. I did post on the Taiwan forum looking for mummy frds a couple weeks ago and again today but no luck.

I realise how expat mummies must have felt in a foreign land, away from home with little to no support, so I thought maybe I'll post something in the sg forum too.

Hopefully I'll make some frds here in Taiwan and bring home some lovely friendships too.

Thks again!
