Some of the older children believe that Americans are rich because they make 30 times more money than Taiwanese workers, due to the exchange rate. My elementary schoolers mostly knew about New York City, California and D.C., but also had heard of some of the national parks and landmarks, as well as other cities like Chicago and Seattle.
They actually had a ton for this one, so I'll just list them all.
What time do you get off school?
How long do you attend class? How many students are in each class?
Are American students taller than Taiwanese students?
What subjects are taught in American schools?
How much homework do American students usually have?

What do American students think of math class?
Are living expenses high or low?
Is bubble tea more expensive in America? (This answer is YES).
Is it hard to get into college?
What do American students have for lunch? Do they bring their own or purchase it at school?
Do they have swimming pools? (Unclear on if this is referring to at school or just in general in America).
Can you ride a scooter (motorcycle) to school?
