When Stephanie and I first realized we were in love, I gave her The Talk: Specifically, that as much as I loved her, I'd always also love Taiwan, and if she stayed with me she'd have to share me with the other love of my life." Thus begins Formosa Moon, a romantic and geeky cultural journey around Taiwan undertaken by a couple comprised of a seasoned guidebook writer intimately familiar with life in Asia and a first-time visitor who agreed to leave everything behind and relocate to the island nation sight unseen. Along the way the couple lose themselves in Taoist temples, feast on street food and explore Taiwan's breathtaking scenery while also engaging in less typical expatriate activities including filming a clandestine puppet show in a hijacked hotel lobby, accidentally taking up chicken farming in their residential Taipei neighborhood, and allowing themselves to be briefly sucked into a local religious cult...all in in the name of cultural immersion. Part travelogue, part guidebook, part memoir, Formosa Moon is a dual-voice narrative offering practical travel information about this young and vibrant democracy while commenting hilariously on their often unusual travel experiences around the island, ultimately inspiring readers to explore the many fascinating layers of Taiwan on a deeper level. Join the couple on their strange and magical journey of discovery through Formosa, aka "The Beautiful Island".
