When the Portuguese first saw Taiwan, they called it "Isle Formosa," or "Beautiful Island." It is also my parents' country, so this year abroad serves me two purposes: 1) to immerse myself academically in Taiwanese language and culture and 2) to connect with my Taiwanese roots and family. I am also doing an ethnomusicology-based research project in which I will study Taiwanese traditional, popular, and aborigine music. I will use this blog to share my adventures here on this Isle Formosa!
