Writing my way through a country that isn't mine.

I am Pieter Borremans, a foreigner in Taiwan who's been building Ryoka Group. Almost a decade ago, I moved to Taiwan without speaking a word of Mandarin. This is where I write about the language, the culture, and the version of myself that only shows up when nothing is familiar.

If you're here for the building side of things instead — the projects, the progress, the day-to-day — that lives on my other journal.
