National Taiwan University College of Medicine

Remember when we interviewed the dean of the National Taiwan University? This time, we interviwed the dean of the National Taiwan University’s Medical School. (The NTU Medical School is one of the colleges within the NTU.)

During the interview, we asked two rounds of questions, and we learned about the importanceof integrity and about his views on GM (gene modification). Apparently, Dr. Yang has done much research in that field. After the interview, (as usual,) we took photos, and then were handed gifts. Afterwards, we left, and this year’s CKSAP program was declared offically over.

The Taiwan Broadcasting Station

When we arrived at the TBS, we first took some pictures, and then we were given a tour of the TBS building. We started off touring the recording rooms, and we even saw a live show in progress! (Due to the reporter’s request for a pair of sunglasses, Tom’s sunglasses had a 10 second “moment of fame” on live TV. Afterwards, we visited the props room, which takes up a whole floor. We learned that most of the props are made of wood, and that all the plants they use are fake. After our tour, we were led to a meeting room, and we started the interview.

Ms. Feng, (sister of Ms. Feng at the Mandarin Daily News,) told us about the importance of integrity and teamwork. She also articulated about her job and how she managed her people. Quick-witted and extremely intelligent, Ms. Feng answered all our questions and more. After the interview, we took pictures and departed.

Editor-in-Chief of the Mandarin Daily News

The Mandarin Daily News is unique. It’s nota newspaper aimed for an audience of everyone; it’s a children’s newspaper!

That morning, when we arrived in the lobby of the Mandarin Daily News office, we were greeted with a sight of many milling people, and a book shop. After staring at our surroundings for a full 30 seconds, we were greeted by a representative who led us up to a meeting room and showed us an introductory movie about the Mandarin Daily News. After the movie, we were led on a tour of the building.

The Mandarin Daily News building isn’t just an office; it’s a learning place for kids. The top floor is a recreation floor for kids resting between lessons, and waiting adults. The other floors contain a library, a music corner, an Arts corner, and various other areas and corners. After the tour, we ambled into Ms. Feng, the editor-in-chief’s, office. We sat down on the various couches and chairs, and the interview began. We discovered that Ms. Feng highly prizes integrity, and that she was influenced by the former editor-in-chief to take her current job. She answered the questions quickly and precisely. After two rounds of questions, we took pictures, and then left for our other interview.
