Recently, the news of two Taiwanese exhibitions has impressed me a lot. These exhibitions are about “betel nut beauty” and “bubble tea”, and both of the exhibitions are invited by oversea museums.
The exhibition of the culture of Taiwanese betel beauty provides me a new aspect to concern. Before, betel nut beauties are usually regarded as people related to pornography. However, these days, people tend to treat it as a unique culture and an art. It reminds me that one piece of news reported that some betel nut beauties were trained with CPR skills by the promotion of the government. It suggests me to think more thoroughly and open-mindedly over any issues.
The other exhibition called “bubble tea” is not about the exact tea. In fact, the name is given for the generosity and creativity of culture and arts, which people can see in the Taiwanese bubble tea culture. Taiwanese mix our own culture and foreign ones to create a lot new kinds of tea. The blend of drinks, cultures, and ideas, adds to the vitality of Taiwanese spirits.
In my opinion, these two pieces of news are good reminders for me. Learning from the news, I appreciate the different points of view and the excellent mixture of different cultures. These ideas both motivate us to think and practice positively and creatively.

wow! It's really amazing to know that the two special cultures in Taiwan now are ones of the cool attractions for foreign countries, especially the "bubble tea" culture. I've always been admiring Taiwanese generosity to all different cultures; therefore, I'm totally agree with you. I'm so looking forward to your next journal. Keep working! ;)
after reading your article, i remember i have heard a news about betel nuts beauties as well. It says that a professor does his research paper about betel nuts beauties' history. This paper concludes different stages of development of betel nuts beauties. It mentiones that betel nuts beauties at first were not so spicy than those now. With the change of the economy of Taiwan society, those betel nuts also change their strategy of working such as dressing hot clothes. I think that it is very interesting about noticing the develoment of these social phenomena. I also enjoy reading your article to broaden my knowledge.
