Neither son nor daughter was willing to live with a family of strangers, and none of the family's Taiwanese friends in Australia was willing to take them in. Studying at the Taipei American School would cost over NT $ 100,000 a term, so that was ruled out.
孩子首先就回絕住在寄宿家庭的可能，當地的台灣朋友也無人願意代為照顧，跟著回來就讀美國學校嘛，一學期學費台幣十餘萬，又讓他們打消此意。
