Life in Taiwan

Life in Taiwan

Taiwan, my hometown, is surrounding by ocean, have been called as Formosa.  The first Portuguese sailors saw Taiwan; they called it Formosa– “Beautiful Island” in 16th century.  Taiwan is much different than US in 21st Century. Such as the culture, races, geography, and  food. However, to sum up there are two distinct different between Taiwan and U.S.


The first difference between Taiwan and the U.S. is the convenience bring by space. In U.S. you can't go everywhere without car, because the locations always to big from places to places. The resources and information are hard to catch also.  When I was in Taiwan the transportation system is really organized. People can go everywhere by public transportation .Buying and treasuring a car is hard to afford for most of people, so they choose to buy scooters than buying a car.




The second difference between Taiwan and U.S. is the night life. In Taiwan most of the stores and shop open until 9 pm or 10pm. Department stores will open until 11pm.  Especially Cities seems like never-sleep places. Our special products are night markets. If you are hungry or get up at midnight but don't know where to eat, night markets will always welcome you to visit. I miss all the food in Taiwan in U.S. only 7-11 or some fast food shops will open overnight.
