Former Wellingtonian Ron Hanson has strong ties to Taiwan, having lived there on and off since the turn of the century. He teaches English privately, runs an arts magazine with his brother Mark (who also lives in Taiwan) called White Fungus and is involved in lots of other arts-related work. He's Calling Home from the Nantun District of Taichung City, where he lives in a recently-purchased apartment with wife Ema.
