Of course, tell me if I am wrong.
The overall point still stands. Being bilingual in English and Mandarin does not make you a member of a particularly exclusive club.
If I can make a living translating Japanese to English, well, there's a reason for that.

No, the reason I asked is because I have met a lot of Taiwanese students in Cairns here studying English.. I guess I'm talking 20-25. They could not speak English.
I am not clued up at all regarding the Enlish speaking scene in Taiwan.
I know Singapore is fluent as my parents have told me so who are regular visitors.
On the other hand, I believe Korea is pretty much as Japan, possibly less fluent.
Thailand seems "broken" fluent.
