What is Taiwan like in the eyes of a foreigner? In the eyes of Tanaka Ayako, a Japanese girl, Taiwan is a very friendly place. Ayako came to Taiwan to study Chinese. Because of language and cultural differences, she has many interesting stories to tell about her life in Taiwan. She has collected these stories in a comic book called Popo's Taiwan Diary.

In this book, Ayako turns herself into a cat named Popo. All the stories are presented through cute drawings of the cat. These include funny stories of misunderstandings between Popo and her classmates. In other stories, Popo tries to win the Tungyi Lottery by paying for items separately to collect more receipts. There are also unhappy stories, such as Popo being flooded by water during a typhoon.

Tanaka Ayako wishes to explain that getting information from the media isn't always enough. There are many interesting things that we can only experience first-hand. Being in touch with another language and culture may not only show you a different world, it may also show you a different side of yourself!

在外國人的眼中，台灣是個什麼樣的地方呢？在日本女孩田中文子的眼中，台灣是個親切的地方。她來到台灣學中文，由於語言與文化差異，在台灣的生活遇到許多有趣的事。她將這些經歷全收錄在她的圖文書《大和貓的台灣留學日記》中。

在書中她化身為一隻叫啵啵的貓咪，用逗趣的漫畫描繪台灣生活的大小事，像是啵啵和班上同學雞同鴨講會錯意、為了中發票而將商品個別結帳。當然也有些不開心的經驗，像是颱風天碰到淹水。

田中文子希望藉這本書告訴讀者，從媒體獲得資訊並不全然足夠，很多有趣的事還是要親身經歷才能體會。接觸外國語和外國文化，不僅可見識不同的世界，還可認識另一個自己呢！
