As an accounting student at Telfer I feel that it is extremely difficult to participate in the exchange without taking extra courses in the summer, dropping co-op or delaying graduation. Despite much pressure to keep co-op, I still wanted to experience travelling. Excited to turn my dream into reality, I applied for the exchange program. 1 About the Courses I chose Registration for courses goes through 2 rounds. I only got into one of the courses during that time, but the school guarantees that I’ll get into whatever international courses I want (but has to meet requirements of your program and must be approved from Telfer first). The first step I took was to make a list of the courses I wanted, and then sent them to Telfer International office for approval. Then I registered for my courses online through the NCCU website, and the ones I did not get into the first or second time, I just manually registered myself. All the courses below are full-time courses (3.0 credit). All courses run from February 20 to June 23. Each class is 3 hours long and occur once a week.

  • 40 Taiwanese Foods We Can't Live Without
    40 TAIWANESE FOODS WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DELL TW TA TEAM KINO TANG 1. BRAISED PORK RICE (滷肉飯) A Taiwanese saying goes, "Where there is a wisp of smoke from the kitchen chimney, there will be lurou fan" (braised pork with rice). The popularity of this humble dish cannot be overstated. "Lurou fan" is synonymous with Taiwan. The Taipei city government launched a "braised pork rice is ours" campaign last year after Michelin’s Green Guide Taiwan claimed that the dish is from Shandong Province in mainland China. A good bowl of lurou fan has finely chopped, not quite minced, pork belly, slow-cooked in aromatic soy sauce with five spices. There should be an ample amount of fattiness, in which lies the magic. The meat is spooned over hot rice. A little sweet, a little salty, the braised pork rice is comfort food perfected. Jin Feng Lu Rou Fan (金峰滷肉飯), 10 Roosevelt Road, Section 1, Jhongjheng District, Taipei City; +886 2 2396 0808 2. BEEF NOODLE (牛肉麵) You know it's an obsession when it gets its own festival. Beef noodle soup is a dish that inspires competitiveness and innovation in chefs. Everyone wants to claim the title of beef noodle king. From visiting Niu Ba Ba for one of the most expensive bowls of beef noodle soup in the world (TW$10,000, or US$334) to a serendipitous duck into the first makeshift noodle shack that you spot, it's almost impossible to have a bad beef noodle experience in Taiwan. Lin Dong Fang's beef shanks with al dente noodles in a herbal soup are a perennial favorite.

I witnessed how the restaurants in certain parts of the night market were being closed down despite of protests being held by shop owners and students at Taipei City Hall. I wondered how the various actors in this dispute were attracting attention to their side of the argument, and how this affected the outcome of events at various points in time. When looking at the importance of night markets for Taiwan’s tourism and economy, legitimizing the closing down of such an area is important. Besides these reasons people also attach a value to night markets that can only be described as cultural significance.

  • Contemporary Pan-Chinese Cinematic Urbanism in Taiwan and Hong Kong
    Contemporary Pan-Chinese Cinematic Urbanism in Taiwan and Hong Kong By Ying-Fen Chen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Margaret L. Crawford, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Weihong Bao Summer 2019 Abstract Contemporary Pan-Chinese Cinematic Urbanism in Taiwan and Hong Kong by Ying-Fen Chen Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Margret L. Crawford, Chair After World War II, Chinese films shot in Taiwan and Hong Kong began to play a significant role constructing and disseminating images of Chinese culture and its urban environments to pan-Chinese regions of the world and beyond. To comprehend the relationship between those Chinese films and their urban settings, particularly in Taipei and Hong Kong, numerous scholars in the field of Chinese cinematic urbanism engaged in analyses of the highly aestheticized spatial representations in the films, as well as on the cultural negotiation of Chineseness within a context of political tension, and the issues arising from the rapid capitalization of Chinese cities. However, from the 1990s, the global popularity of Hollywood movies threatened the film industry both in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Concurrently, Mainland China rose in stature to supplant Taiwan and Hong Kong as the seat of political, economic, and cultural “Chineseness”. To respond to these changes, film industry executives in Taiwan and Hong Kong began to seek new ways to survive, sparking a process in which the relationship between cities and the film industries grew more complex.

  • Young Women, Fashion, and Modernity in Taiwan
    Young Women, Fashion, and Modernity in Taiwan Ming-Chun Hong PhD University of York Women’s Studies January 2013 Abstract Young Taiwanese women are thought to have gained more individuality and agency over the last few decades. With the improvement in women’s rights and the increase in disposable income, young women have been embracing new forms of identity and consumption values. It becomes apparent that, even in the seemingly straightforward act of consuming fashion goods, young women must navigate conflicts between modernity, traditional values and social expectations while constructing the self in negotiation with others. This research sought to study young Taiwanese women’s perceptions of consuming fashion products and to determine whether their accounts conform to prevalent notions of modern women and the development of individuality. I examined how young metropolitan Taiwanese women managed their appearances in order to represent their identities, and how these decisions were subjected to the influence of parents, others and themselves. In the summer of 2009, I conducted semi-structured interviews with 24 metropolitan women between the ages of 19 and 31. These interviews focused on several aspects of fashion consumption, covering the meaning of brands and fashion goods to young women and their relationships with the construction of self-identity and social identity, self-image and public image and femininity. My analysis drew on Goffman’s (1959) approach to impression management and other theories of self-identity. I found that for the women interviewed, the process of dressing themselves demonstrated contradictions between maintaining individuality and conforming to social norms. However, through acting ‘not too over the top’ and through the conscious inclusion of others, young women are able to achieve a balance in managing their appearance.
