Scheduling of Workshops in Taiwan, Mainland China, Japan

Main concerns

  1. 9 day workshops aren't going to be practical in any of these countries as work culture doesn't allow for much available time
  2. The best case scenario is to hold the 9 day workshops during golden week, national day and chinese new year holidays
  3. Alternatively, breakdown workshops into smaller chunks offered on weekends.
  4. Typically, students will study on Saturday in Mainland China.
  5. Company staff will be working on Saturdays often in both Taiwan and China.
  6. Long work hours during the week are common in all three countries so evenings unavailable.
  7. We need to be concerned about income differences and workshop pricing in Asia v.s. North America and Europe.

Income Differences

  1. U.K. = $42,558 usd/pp
  2. U.S. = $62,606 usd/pp
  3. Japan = $39,306 usd/pp
  4. Taiwan = $24,971 usd/pp
  5. China = $9,608 usd/pp
