Lou, an IT marketing professional, has finally gotten his chance to work abroad now that he's accepted an offer from his company, a permanent position in Taipei, Taiwan. Lou is thrilled with the opportunity, but his friend and colleague, Eugene, reminds him it won't all be a piece of cake. Lou is going to have to do some serious downgrading from owning his four-bedroom and three-bath house in Texas to renting a tiny apartment in the city of Taipei, where foreigners are not allowed to buy property. He's going to have to learn to live without the amenities he's used to in order to make it work. Will the drastic downgrade dampen Lou's transfer to Taipei? Find out when House Hunters International travels to Taipei, Taiwan.
