I met up with my Skype tutee Monday morning in which he had just come back from a 3 day vacation in Taiwan. So that became the topic for our session: me asking him questions about what he did and enjoyed in Taiwan and him reporting back to me the details. It was quite fascinating to see the extensive knowledge he had about Taiwan, especially concerning the historical relations that Taiwan has with China. I had asked him if this was something he had studied or learned about in his high school classes growing up. Though he said they did provide some background knowledge of their history he said that a lot of the information regarding the Chinese and Taiwanese government, as well as the traditional Chinese treasures, he learned from venturing in the National Palace Museum of Taiwan. Aside from history, we were able to practice comparatives when talking about Taiwan's weather in comparison to his home in Seoul, as well as mine in Florida.
