Teacher pay: Germany vs Taiwan - ESL Teaching

Germany can be the best tourist place. But i think pay in Taiwan is high as compared to pay in Germany. It's better to stay in Taiwan. Taiwan has good job opportunities for teachers.

What is the teaching environment in Taiwan like, is it very very different when compared to Germany?

It's totally different. The geography, customs, pay, opportunities, visa rules, qualifications and so forth are totally different.

Eg:

Taiwan is a tiny country compared to Germany
Taiwanese parents prefer their kids to learn from "white" caucasian faces.
Taiwan offers an ARC (work permit) to native English teachers with a university degree. However in Germany, schools are mainly looking for those with a European passport.
Schooling system and demand ratio for English teachers is vastly different.

You can't really compare as they are totally different countries.
