1.What do you think about Atyal’s facial tattoo? Do you have tattoo culture in your country? If yes, what are those differences between two cultures. I think that it is weird that they tattoo their faces, i only have one question to them. Which is "don't you think it hurts?" Our country do have people tattoo, but not for the same reason. In Taiwan people have tattoo because they think it makes the cool.
2.Saisiyat people choose their surnames from plants, animals and natural phenomena. In your country, do you think a person’s surname has special meaning which can reflect your own culture and why? I don't think so.
3.Lily is a symbol of RuKai. In your country, what’s your national flower and what it means. Taiwan's national flower is 梅花, and it means staying strong even thought the conditions are bad.
4.On Beian’s traditional weddings, you can see a prospective bride climbing a giant swing. And tribesmen swing her until the swing sails like kites. In your country, do you have any special ceremonies that are held on weddings? Please explain it. The bride will step on something called 瓦片, and step on it until it is in many pieces. They do this because there is a phrase in Taiwan that says if you break it into a lot of pieces you will have peace.

Grace,
I like your answer to the four question. If the bride breaks"瓦片" into peaces, it also means you will start a new life and get away from the old times like the broken "瓦片".
