China or Taiwan?

i'm going... i'm really going. question is, WHERE?

dad wants china. more cultural. mom wants taiwan. less sars. me, i dunno what i want. (yes yes, F4's from taiwan, but they're all in different countries right now anyway so there's no incentive... that's for those of u who continue to believe i'm going for guys... for goodness sake, of course i'm going for the language! guys are overrated... but hey, that's a whole different post :P)

honestly, i'm torn. i thought wanting to learn mandarin was enough of a choice. turns out i have to choose whether i wanna learn in china or taiwan, whether i wanna study at this university or that university, this town or that town, for a few weeks or a few months, live in the city or by the sea, stay on campus or with a family, study in a class of 20 or 2, opt to teach english or study wushu on the side, learn the culture by travelling or taking more courses, etc etc etc. the more research i do, the more options i come across, the harder it is for me to make a decision, the bigger the headache i get at the end of the day! one option at a time, i guess... which brings me back to the first question: china or taiwan? feedback, anyone??

go to China if you just want to learn Mandarin wherein you would able to practice your Mandarin with people living in there without speaking English hehehehe!! of course! If you want to go to Taiwan just because of F4.....I highly doubt it that you would get any closer to them :D and also, they are already disband.
