The number of Japanese students studying abroad in Taiwan will increase, and Taiwan has become the third country with the number of Japanese students studying abroad.

The hosting and performances of this gala were all performed by overseas students, and presented in both Chinese and English. Students from all over the world showed versatile singing, dancing, playing and singing performances.
The party first kicked off with the lively playing and singing by the three-person band, followed by Malaysian students playing and singing, Japanese students dancing, Malaysian students' hip-hop songs, Indonesian students' singing and drama performances, United Nations dances, New Year's song chorus, etc. The guests awarded scholarships as well. Every participant all enjoyed this evening gala a lot, and we look forward to meeting again next year.
