The World in the eyes of a Taiwanese Girl

Author: Sian Lee

A Taiwanese girl who is intrigued by international affairs and cannot wait to explore the world. Fluent in English, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese, I am now working as a freelance translator & interpreter, a job which allows me to meet all kinds of great people with great ideas coming from various cultural and social backgrounds. The interest in international affairs and politics also prompt me to write news reports about things going on at home and abroad. Hopefully, my blog can become the bridge between Taiwanese people and the international society, where foreigners who are curious about the small island nation of Taiwan can know more about the beautiful country I grew up in, and Taiwanese who yearn to understand the world and the way it works can find out useful information.
