Taichung’s newest ex-pat magazine, Guanxi, is out and available in a ton of shops, cafes and restaurants around Taichung City. It was kind of funny to see my article in print. I submitted it such a long time ago that I’d all but forgotten about it.

As with every new magazine, Guanxi needs to spend some time finding it’s voice, particularly because it needs to appeal to such a varied audience, but hopefully this won’t be too much of a struggle for it. Really, it’s just good to see something out there that’s publishing actual articles rather than the pay-and-we-write-on-you model that Compass offers it’s readers.
The magazine will be released quarterly – at the start of every season – and the next one issue is due out sometime in September. I’ll be contributing a series on the artist studios at Stock 20.
