Says Hu Chen-ni, who married Eric two-and-a-half years ago, "Foreigners who come to Taiwan don't intend to stay for long, and marrying someone from another country is definitely an unexpected turn of events." Very few foreigners come here with the express purpose of marrying a local woman, although there are quite a few Taiwanese women who do set their sights on marrying a foreigner.
