American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Director Kin Moy on April 12 welcomed Taiwanese students to study in the US. The AIT Web site now provides information on the application process for a student visa in both Chinese and English. In addition to that, the AIT has also set up a Web site with more information on studying in the US. Furthermore, the AIT is now offering free consultations for anyone who has questions about studying in the US.
According to Moy, graduates of US universities have gone on to become leaders and innovators in many fields around the world, and students studying in the US will be joining a group of outstanding young people. This chance to experience the dynamism, openness and quality of American campuses will be a life-chenging experience for students, says Moy.
Moy also points out that over one million international students are now in US higher education institutions, maintaining the US’ long-standing position as the world’s top host nation for international students. The US is also a top choice for Taiwanese students, with more than 21,000 Taiwanese students studying in the US last year, says Moy.

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl.

The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
Continued from yesterday(延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang As with many aspects of Japanese culture, there is etiquette to follow when you enjoy noodles. To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
