About:Food Culture

My daughter will be spending 6 weeks in a Mandarin Language Immersion in Taipei. Every weekend will provide a chance to visit a family with teenage children. We are from Alabama and I wanted to make sure to send the gifts from here. What would be appropriate: Something unique from the United States or a traditional gift such as chocolate? Her manners are fairly good and she is a very pleasing 17 year old although she can be a little silly when excited. What advice can you give to prevent her from making any social mistakes...wardrobe, manners,etc.

Hello Mrs Cox,

The weather in Taipei will be very warm and chocolate will not be in a great shape. Your daughter will find Taipei has almost everything. I believe anything small from local would be instersting.

Hope your daugher have a great time. Just enjoy!

Hello,

The weather is very warm more muggy then anything. They love american choclate. They really don't take gifts they would rather give them to guestest. Also, let your daughter know to dress lightweight and not to wear sandles. However, if she was to eat anything off the street to eat a clove of garlic (my aunt is from China and thats what she had us do)

Hope your daughter enjoys and go with an open mind!
