Very, very cool. Having spent a lot of time in Taiwan and China, I have always been intrigued by both "entity's" activities in Africa. Do blog more about what your Dad has done and is doing. How can we support his efforts?
Also, of interest is China's increasing activity in Africa.
About you question about going to Taiwan in March:
You don't need to be able to speak Mandarin, but it helps. In the north, people are more likely to be able to speak some English than in the south, but they all (the younger ones...mid-20s and younger) learn English in grade school. So, you should be able to get by (especially if your Father is there).
I'd suggest just brushing up on the basics:
Hi is Hi
Bye is Bye
Where is Taipei? - Taipei zai nali
Where is the bathroom? - Ce zuo zai nali
And just take a map...really, it's pretty easy to get around with little to no Chinese knowledge.
Enjoy! :D
