Taiwan Life VS America

    Compare our daily life with America, there are lots of differences between this two. Transportation is the first problem we need to face everyday. How to go to the school or work?  In America there is hardly to get the traffic problem, because the only thing they need to solve is how to arrive the destination,the directest way is drive or take the bus. If  you live in the city is more convenient to take the subway. But in Taiwan, here are much more people in the small area then America. If you want to drive the car or ride the scooter you probably may have the problem of traffic jam, so you can try to take the bus or mrt, for short destination, train, or even high speed rail if you need to go somewhere far. Or choose to take the taxi when you are in the urgent situation. Exactly, is easier to go everywhere in Taiwan and have more choices of transportation than in America.

    Next, I think that's maybe the problem of transportation, so buying lots of groceries at one time is more helpful for them. But in Taiwan, is pretty convenient to get the food, so most of people won't do this. Cause we have traditional market almost everywhere, people can get any groceries you can think from there, and they're absolutely fresh. As we can see, compare with Taiwanese, American's food is something not healthy, they eat junk food most of the time, and also can. These are not a big deal I think, but the main point is that Americans love everything in the big size, even they have most kinds of food in super huge size, bigger is better, that's what they think. But this will totally not gonna happen in Taiwan. Taiwan not prefer the food in big size, but there are many little snacks, especially you can see many street food vendors. This's how different between Taiwanese and American's food style.

    Another strong contrast between this two is about the system of education, and what students usually do after school. In Taiwan, people put much study pressure on students since elementary school from senior high, parents always sent their children to cram school after school, that's also make children come home late. Students always have lots of subjects to study, and test all the time. But it's so strange that's everything become much more easier to apply for a college, isn't it the most important part of education in your lifetime? Compare with America, people could never image this kind of education, what they care is which learning way is best for their children, or even they help them to fine out the way by themselves in the early stage. There are no any cram school in America, people prefer to give more outdoor activities for their children and for themselves also. It's really a contrast between Taiwan, like is more difficult to apply college in America, if you want the top college in America you really need to do super splendid, but if you want the top college in Taiwan, you don't need to pay the same effort in America to get it.

    Concluding, there is not always a perfect place to live, only the way or living style is most suitable for you. So I don't want to compare which one is better, just to list what difference between these two. People still need to figure out which one is better for themselves.
