Hsinchu City Mayor Lin Chih-chien invited the zoo girl from Japan - Yumi, the Indonesian cook – Yanli, and the Korea-America mix – David to share the table and enjoy wailu (reunion dinner) together in Dongmen Market. Mayor Lin stated that foreign residents came to Hsinchu City for various purposes such as work, academic study, or traveling, and later started to like this city and decided to make this place home.
