Hi Kyle, That was a pretty awesome slide show. I liked hearing you speak Mandarin and Taiwanese. I have to disagree with you about the animals of Taiwan. Taiwan has many animals, bugs, birds and fish that can only be found in Taiwan. It's something I miss about Taiwan; I used to study all the special creatures that we had around our hillside cottage. Do you remember the baby squirrel and the Formosan mole shrew? They are both endemic to Taiwan. There is a list of endemic animals on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_endemic_species_of_Taiwan I miss the beautiful seashore and mountains and the excitement of Taipei City. I don't miss the earthquakes or typhoons. How about you? Mum

And, Miss Hines, you should definitely go! It's quite easy and cheap to travel around, but still very different from NZ.
