It's nice to hear that you enjoyed Australia, I might one day study in Sydney, maybe you could drop by! I had a wonderful time in Taipei for mother's day and I'm actually going up to Taipei again this Sunday. I participated in a competition that was held by Lexus. Although saddly I wasn't able to make to the final, I still was invited to the final show case. I know that we'll be having dinner on 5/27 when you come to Kaohsiung, would you like to meet before that this weekend?Love. Rosa

Questionnaire:1. Please use one short sentence to describe the country you live in, is this country where you were born? If not, please compare both countries (their differences)United States is a country that emphasizes on independence and freedom.2. What do you like about the country you live in? What is it that you dislike about?It has a strong economy, a well-established system. The people are too independent, selfish, and unaware of issues that do not affect them. 3. Please explain to me your campus life (daily routine, anything special…)I study and work five days a work, and go out on weekends. It is a rural, remote area, doesn't have much to offer in terms of a social life. . Please tell me one of the most memorable experiences you had in school.It's the ability to study abroad twice. 5. How is your professor like? (his/her teaching style, personality…)I don't know them very well. They lecture as well as lead group discussions and try to get the students invovled. 6. What do you think of Taiwan and Taiwanese people?It is an independent country that is remarkable in terms of its capabilities. The people are very nice, welcoming, and open, but sometimes are bullied and don't speak their mind. 7. What is your favorite cuisine? Can you name a dish and explain how it is made and what the ingredients are?Probably mexican. I love enchildas, a lot of cheese, seafood, green chile, tortilla. 8. Please explain to me your favorite festival or holiday of the year. What do you enjoy doing on that day?I don't celebrate any holidays nor do I put in much thought about holidays. Everyday is a good day. We don't need holidays to remind us of that. 9. Give me one example of a tradition from your home town.Chinese new years- lucky money. 10. List one cultural difference you have experienced in the past.Westerners crack eggs by taping a spoon on it, while Taiwanese simply crack it on the desk. 11.

Chinese people often care about others life and would ask a lot of questions, however, westerns would consider those questions to be private and refuse to answer. What do you think of “privacy”?

Good evening Anny, I love your answers, however, you skipped question 14. By filling this questionnaire, you really helped a lot, but if you still have time, it would be best if you could elaborate more ideas and examples. I know 20 questions is a bit much to answer, but thank you so much for doing this. Hope to hear from you again and I'll see you soon.

Hey Rosa, Here you goQuestion 14- Regarding sex, I think people in United States are more willing and more open to discuss sexual topics, unlike in Taiwan. Sexual health is taught in school and it's not a shameful topic. Friends are open in discussing sex; its not a taboo or anything like that. The biggest difference I see is that people in United States, due to the culture, are very direct and willing to speak their mind. In Taiwan, students often look down when they speak to their parents and they don't express themselves as much. People in the states grow up fast and are more mature due to the media.
