Faith's Daily Life in Taiwan

What types of clothing do you like to wear?:

It is getting warmer now in Taiwan. So lately, I have been wearing more tee shirts and skirts. The summers here can get very hot and it can rain quite a bit. The average high for May in Taiwan is 84° F.

What do you like to do in your free time?:

When I am not taking graduate school or Chinese classes, I enjoy going to museums. There are so many museums in Taiwan and there is a thriving art scene here! I enjoyed learning more about Asian art and Taiwanese artists.

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

Currently, I am taking 16 hours a week of Chinese Mandarin class. I have a tutor who I met four days a week and then I take group classes two days a week at my school. If you want to say "hello" in Mandarin Chinese, you can say "你好" (Nǐ hǎo). 

Do you have pets?:

I do not have any pets. 

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

I have traveled to a few countries. I was born in London and lived there for seven years. My mom's family is from Singapore, so I try to visit my family there every couple of years. I have also traveled to Japan, Indonesia, France, Spain, Germany and Italy.

What do you do for work?:

I am currently a graduate student at Fu Jen Catholic University studying brand and fashion management. I am studying in Taiwan under the U.S. Fulbright Student Program.

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

If you are interested in living and studying abroad, I would definitely recommend it!
