One student mentioned her parents’ concern about sending the child
so far away. I wish I can say something to comfort parents' worry, but I know
no matter what I say, parents will be still "WORRY". I still remember
when Andrew was born, I complained about being unable to sleep to a nurse at
the hospital. Then said to us: "you will never sleep well for the rest of
your life" Well, of course she exaggerated a little. But now, two boys after,
I kind of understand what she meant. As parents, we will always WORRY
But I do have something to offer, data. The crime rate in
Taiwan is a lot lower than Chicago, even US. In the past few years, US homicide
rate is around 4.8~5.0/100,000, while Taiwan is 3.2~3.5. These US data is
national wide statistics. That means even though you factor in all the small towns
around the country, the US homicide rate is still higher than Taiwan. I guess
you don’t need me to mention Chicago.
So, to your worry, I can say that Taiwan is safer than US,
not to mention Chicago.
