Shou-tao or Benjamin as my husband is named in English, was just finishing up his PhD in polymer science and his English was very rusty at that. I had just graduated with my undergraduate degree and knew nothing about Taiwan except what I had seen in travel magazines, but we took the plunge and got married anyway.
當時守道才正要完成聚合物科學的博士學業，對英語又不熟稔；我則剛從大學畢業，除了看過旅遊雜誌的介紹外，對台灣一無所知。
