I suspect the Taiwanese sports day is similar to the Japanese sports day thanks to the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. Much of the school system ( indeed many of the civil systems ) still have a strong Japanese influence. Paula,

Im writing to ask if i can use some information and pictures you wrote about Taiwanese sports day as my open-class teaching materials for the inter-cultural awareness aspect of my demo lesson coming up in June. From your site, I was really surprised to realise how similiar taiwanese and japanese public educations are. My schools are all having their sports day in one or two weeks time and I think it will be interesting and rewarding for my japanese students to see wht elemtary school kids do in my lovely country, Taiwan! Thanks ahead if my request is permitted. (dont worry, all your pictures and information will be properly cited or introduced during in presentation. ) Paula Hi, Im currently teaching English in four different elementary schools in Hiroshima, Japan.
