No news from Taiwan? (English)

Taipeih 101 - the tallest buidling in the world

I am really sorry that I am not adding new posts more frequently on this site!
But I am in fact way too busy right now. So many things to do, to see, to explore and to manage. But except for the weather I really like it her. I feel quite accustomed already, however I was feeling a little sick a few days ago, but my European friends here had similiar problems. So everything seems to be normal, and gone anyway!
My classes will start tomorrow and then my life will finally start to become more organized, I believe.
Ingo is also heading towards Australia tomorrow, which is very sad but some time it had to happen. :-(
Just putting up a few brand-new shots to make you curious...

From top to bottom:

Wow, nice pictures! How do you like Taibei 101? It must be very high, isn't it?

Just one more question,do most taiwanese regard Chiang Kai-Shek as their Father in the same way most Chinese think Mao?

Hi Ping!
I believe that they see Sun Yatsen (孫逸仙)as the father of the nation. As the Republic of China was founded in 1912 with Sun Yatsen as the first provisional president of the Republic.
