Yung-Feng High School

Today is our first of five days in schools. Ying-Yoa, Aileen, Amy and I visited Yung-Feng High School. We quickly realized how passionate and funny their principal is; she was quite impressive.






We learned that all high schools in Taiwan have their speciallities. Yung-Feng offers fencing, archery, and kendo. And yes, we got to try all of them. Although we thoroughly enjoyed the energy of the students and teachers in the classroom, the kids really enjoyed their time in PE. Ying-Yao is quite good with the bow, Amy is a focused student and Aileen is vicious with the sword.


We attended music class, math, Chinese, geography, biology, art, English, and PE. We were allvery surprised about the energy and activity we witnessed in each class because it did not match our preconceived ideas of what classes would be like in any dominent Asian society. It was a great pleasure. Aileen made recycled paper with onion peels for coloring in science; it came out great.

Now, here are a few pictures of their school; try to find the symbols placed in the architecture of the school building. We learned of these symbols from students in the morning. They were very informative and spoke very good English.
