1.Saisiyat people choose their surnames from plants, animals and natural phenomena. In your country, do you think a person's surname has special meaning which can reflect your own culture and why?
I don't think so. I think it's just like each tribe has its own name, and each surname is like a tribe in Chinese culture.
2.Lily is a symbol of RuKai. For Paiwan, a hundred-step viper is significant in their society. In your country, do you have any symbol that represents your country and what does that mean?
I think Dragon might be it. Chinese people think Dragons are holy animals that bring you good luck. Although it's only an imaginary animal but Chinese people still think it's a special symbol.
3.On Beian's traditional weddings, you can see a prospective bride climbing a giant swing. And tribesmen swing her until the swing sails like kites. In your country, do you have any special ceremonies that are held on weddings? Please explain it.
I don't attend weddings a lot so I'm not too sure about this, sorry.
