and Singapore, and in the Formosan provincial schools before coming to the United States last fall. Her father ia highly placed in the National government of Chiang Kai-shek which took refuge on Taiwan after the Communist coup in China.' He previously served China as military attache in India and trade commissioner to’•the Far East in Singapore. Here as a student visa, Vivien wants to study medicine and that ambition is probably inherited. Her favorite subjects are mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. The biggest difference Vivien notices in the United States is that girls are freer here than in the Orieiit. She said she prefers the more conservative freedom of her country that is characterised by a high respect for one’s parents. Bicycles are as numerous in Teipei streets as cars are in the U. 8. There are buses and threewheel cabs (like tricycles with roofed rumble seats) for public transportation, but there are hardly any rickshaws. The climate is very different also. It is usually around 80 degrees there, although it drops down to around 40 degrees in the winter. This mountainous island of vast forests usually has three harvests a year.
