Postcard #9 - Taiwan

My next postcard again arrived from the country of Taiwan. That's two postcards in a row! The sender shared she is a high school student and has a teacher from the USA. I told her to be nice to her teacher and she will learn a lot. I am not sure what is on this postcard. If you know, please let me know.

5 more interesting facts about Taiwan

  1. Taiwan ranks first in gender equality in Asia.                                   Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it.  -Frances Wright
  2. Taiwan reuses or recycles 58% of its waste.
  3. Taiwan's national sport is baseball. I hope they like the Oakland A's like I do! 
  4. Taiwan has had twenty-six distinct native languages. Many are extinct or close to extinction. 
  5. Taiwan competes in the Olympic games as Chinese Taipei. This goes along with its absence from the UN. It's a heated debate and I won't go on about it.
