1. Hi, my name is Gina, I lives in Chao Jou, a small town located in southern Taiwan, in Pingdong County. What do I do after school? Well, I normally play computer after school, it’s my way to relax myself from school work and to have some social network with others. Pingdong County is the most well-known tourist attraction in Taiwan. It is because the weather here is always warm, and it’s very close to the beach, that within one and half an hour drive, people can reach the most beautiful sand beach in Taiwan – Kenting.
2. I am surprised how big Canada is. I mean when compare to Taiwan, Canada is about nine hundred times bigger. Wow!
I wish I can visit Canada sometime so I can see snow. Cause people can’t see snow in Taiwan, unless you go to the mountain peak in winter.
Do you miss Korea? If you could choose, where do you want to live in? Korea or Canada?
Do you support Prime Minister Harpers’ budget plans? Why and why not
Well yes someplace is well preserved, but there’s also places that’s not preserved. And yes, we have our own traditions in Taiwan, like to celebrate for mid-autumn festival and Chinese New Year.
