When a quidditch player travels, they will wonder if where they are going has a quidditch community, hoping to join local teams for a pick-up or two. For Hao-Ting Wang, things were a bit different. Originally from Taiwan, Wang moved to the United Kingdom to further her studies, where she got involved with quidditch.

For somebody such as Wang, who lives and breathes quidditch, returning to Taiwan where quidditch is not widely played was a bitter pill to swallow. No weekly scrimmages, no tournaments to look forward to, and, quite simply, no fun.
Wang was initially unsure about introducing the game of quidditch to Taiwan, but the HogYork Horntails and Leeds Griffins player eventually spearheaded a couple taster sessions in March 2015 and has hosted weekly practices since April.
