Journal 57: Welcome to My Special Place


If I would bring anyone to any place I want, I would bring my friend in the United States who used to say that “Taiwan is nothing but a small island” to Taiwan. I would like to show her that she is wrong. I would like to show her that Taiwan is not what she expected, an undeveloped little island without any trace of civilization. Taiwan is a place full of cultural diversity and enthusiasm. We definitely have a highly-developed society. Taiwan is known for its hard-working, sincere, enthusiastic, and welcoming people. Anyone who has been to Taiwan can surely testify that they have been helped warmly by local Taiwanese citizens. If she looks at the development of a country in another perspective, I can tell her that Taipei city is not much different from the important cities in the United States. Taipei city is surely a bustling city with commerce and social activities going on every day. Taiwan to many people is not just a small country, but a place where dreams get started, planned out, or achieved.  Me, myself thinks of Taiwan as a place of where the place connects. Because of the cultural diversity and tolerance of Taiwan, I then have the opportunity to learn and accept the different cultures and study at an American school where I can get to achieve my dream and goal of studying abroad.
