I wish I could point you in the right direction, but I don't know where you could start to look for positions in your field. Perhaps you could check tealit.com? Hi Contessa,

I went to Taiwan for a trip and instantly fell in love with the place. I'm interested in Daoism and cyckeways and noticed that Taipei is good with both of these. I teach engineers and planners about mobility and cycleways and would very much like to bring this to Taiwn. Do you know of any avenues? Thanks Contessa Hi Carrie

However, it is not clear if Tao was actually a real person or a legend, nor a mixture of a few thinkers. Some believe he was an actual person seeking a way to avoid aspects of society like warfare, but others feel he was just mythical. Taoism began as a philosophy, but was turned into a state religion in 440 CE; it is one of the great philosophies of China along with Buddhism and Confucianism. Taoism had been oppressed during the strict communist control periods from 1949-1960, and during the cultural revolution from 1966 to 1976. Many temples and texts were destroyed. However, there is more tolerance and practice of this belief ever since 1982. There are about 20 million Taoists, mainly based in Taiwan.

I really enjoyed writing and researching it. When I first started visiting the local temples in our area, I have to admit, I couldn't really discern anything with a glance. Taoist temples are a riot of color, shape and chaotic beauty. Now I'm starting to pick out more noteworthy details. I’m glad you enjoyed my post. I really enjoyed writing and researching it.

Funny how a co-worker yesterday were asking me about Taoism as we were discussing religions and I mentioned to him that I have the same last name as the founder of Taoism. Thank for the piece. It has been a long time since I was in Taiwan. Next time I will pay moer attention. Very nice.
