Our Rotary Youth Exchange(RYE) student made his presentation March 29, 2017.
David Ting had a very good video on his country, Taiwan. He told how it was very
different than Citrus County. He lives on the 15th floor of a high rise in a large
crowded city. Transportation is public, cars, mopeds and motorcycles. Non-cars
ride in separate lanes from cars. Traffic is always busy. Taiwan is an island with
almost 24 million people. Everyone has english is school. He was surprised that
american students have a choice of subjects. In Taiwan he has no choice.
