Thank you for the astute observations on the contrast between your non-Taiwanese students and Taiwanese students. I feel like it's much easier for non-Taiwanese people, including my progressive American friends, to wax poetic about Taiwanese democracy whereas Taiwanese locals and natives are the ones who have to live with the threat of war with China - whether that threat is real or propaganda/misinformation.

First, appreciate your rundown of what’s going on politically.

Second, super cute kitty. My son had a stuffed animal lamb we called Lambie when he was younger. I could see a nickname for Little Yam being Yammie :)

Yammie and Lambie! That's adorable. I'm going to try to try "Yammie" on him and see how that goes. Thanks as always for being so supportive, Susan <3
