American culture is hard to describe, primarily because the country is huge and the livelihoods of people varies greatly from state to state. The country is very young, compared to other societies around the world. Thus, we don’t have much of a traditional culture to speak of. Honestly, I didn’t think there was much of an American culture to refer to when I was living in the States. Having grown up in the US, and with limited experiences outside of the country,  it was a bit difficult for me to conceptualise American culture. Even so, I had an idea of how American values are unique. I felt compelled to experience another culture firsthand to gain a better understanding of the large spectrum of human natures.

Before attempting to understand the culture of a country/society/etc., one must study a bit of their statistics and history. For this, I turned to a well-revered and trustworthy source: the Internet!!
The main island Taiwan has quite an interesting history. But, before we get into that, I also think it’s important to read up on some of the basics. Therefore, I have created a page on this blog that goes into some detail about different topics regarding Taiwan, such as: statistics on the population, languages, religions, history of Taiwan, and some links to facts and news websites for Taiwan.
