A histrical city, Tainan

There are a lot of histric sites in Tainan.  Some young Taiwanese students wanted to talk with me in Japanese.  I was surprised to know it.  Are they learning Japanese in school or by themselves? In Tainan, my husband and I could meet our idle Japanese professional pool player, Akiko Kitayama. I don't play pool or billiards, but my husband does on weekends! Taiwanese might know her because she sometimes apper TV programs in Taiwan.
