Not bad! The people are friendly and nice to foreigners.\n\nBut the traffic and pollution (just in city) are bad, but not in the country.\n\nThe night markets and traditional food are attractive to foreigners. The vendors in the night market are creative in their jobs. Their are few difference between Taiwanese and Chinese food, but you can have both of them in Taiwan. Both of them are great. \n\nTaiwanese mixed modernism and traditions successfully. \nI enjoy the life here very much!

My father died because he was hit by a car (the driver was drunk) when I was five. I don't remember how I felt at the time it happened and I have no memories of my father which I find very sad. \nAn older sister of mine (I had 5 altogether) died 2 years ago due to complications after a simple operation. She left behind 3little children. \nIt's hard to describe how you feel when someone close to you dies. \nI think the worst for me was facing my sister's children. I know they can still have a happy childhood. I have very happy memories of my own childhood, so I believe they will be OK, but being with these little ones and seeing the pain and sorrow in their little faces, was almost unbearable at times. \nMy sister took a picture of her eldest girl before she died. In the picture my niece is holding a little rabbit and her whole face is brimming with happiness. There is not a trace of sorrow in her eyes. \nA year after my sister died, another picture was taken of my niece. It's hard to believe, that it's the same girl. She is smiling but the sadness in her eyes seems so deep, she looks so hurt and vulnerable, that it just makes me wanna cry every time I look at this picture. \nThe only thought that has been of any comfort to me, was knowing, that both my father and my sister, had a relationship with God.\nI believe they are with Him now and that one day, I will see them again.

Click on the the Yahoo Travel link and just enter Taiwan. They have all types of things that tourists would be interested in.\nImportant stuff would be well-priced but safe hotels and the usual landmarks and places of great natural beauty. Maybe also include extreme sport style stuff like bungee jumping etc.\n\nBy the way, how did you get your yahoo name "lekker ding". Not sure if you are aware of it but in the language native to South Africa, Afrikaans, it means "Nice thing"  :-)

yes, but not under the name Taiwan.  They will be called Chinese Taipei.

Very Good!\n\nGermany also had several Island Chains in the Pacific Ocean (Marshall Islands, Bismark Islands, part of Samoan Islands) as well as their concession in China, Tsing Tao.

Interesting topic for discussion. Unfortunately, due to political issues dating back to Mao and the Nationalists, Taiwan and China just can't separate themselves from one another. The U.S. has a hard time choosing sides because while China helps the pocketbook, Taiwan supports the US ideal of democracy. It also helps to keep good ties to an up and coming military power such as China, wouldn't want to upset them too much considering we serve as Japan's military (although Japan is starting to acquire more defensive weaponry).

The closest feeling you could identify with would be how the US felt after the terrorist acts of 9/11.\n\nThe country was angry and looking for their target in Afghanistan.

Firstly from an Aussie thank you for your congratulations and wishes. That is really nice. Now I don't know why you nearly or otherwise felt sorry for Japan, I certainly didn't. They were very nasty and negative verbally toward our boys prior to the tournament and match. They were the more aggressive party and some of their tactics left a lot to be desired also. So I don't feel sorry for them at all and the correct score should have been 3-0 Australia. \n\nI hope they beat Croatia, I believe they have an excellent chance and that isn't an offence to Croatia, but Australia put together a strong finish and their fitness stood out toward the end. That must come into consideration V's Brazil too. That's going to be a hard match for the boys but they can compete if they are in the right frame of mind. Looking forward to that match.

From the perspective of an outsider, this is my brief experience with coming across Mormon faith: They are good people; a lot of them give their lives for their faith. I respect this very much. But...I used to live in Taipei for a long period of time, during this time, I came across many Mormon youth who had come to Asia to preach their faith.\nOne incident that struck me negatively was a certain day when I witnessed a group of 2 Mormon youths (early 20's) approaching a Taiwanese man on the subway (also known as the MRT). This man was quietly reading his newspaper when they interrupted him (this is not acceptable etiquette-wise in Taiwan and was obviously embarrassing to this middle-aged man in the crowded compartment) to speak about their faith. I looked on, in awe at the profoundness of their go-get-it approach. A few minutes later, they noticed me (a white female foreigner) and obviously wanted to talk to me too. When Sister Something and the other Sister something approached I felt quite uncomfortable and felt like a was being interrogated. I then asked them how their evangelization was going. They then explained how each team was assigned a certain line of the subway system to meet potential followers. I was surprised at this, because according to the local laws, no political party or any other organization has the power to use the subway system for purposes other than traveling. What they were pursuing was clearing outside regulations. Not only this, but the method they used to interact with locals was not exactly what I call "localzied". Anway, I still believe that Mormons are good-hearted people. The only thing I would encourage them to do is "strive for communion with other Christians".

In Taiwan they speak Mandarin, the most commonly spoken first language in the world. The advantage for the Taiwanese is that they have been in potentially a good position to exploit China's opening up - better perhaps than their cousins in Hong Kong most of whom speak Cantonese. But the political status of Taiwan and its independence from the PRC does mean that they are treated with suspicion by some who remember Chang Ki Shek. If there can be a resolution of the political impasse (perhaps along the lines of the Hong Kong "One country two systems model) then the prospects for the Taiwanese are bright.

Taiwan and Vatican City. As the source says, that depends on whether or not you consider Taiwan a country.

Yikes! The U.S. (at least) recognizes Taiwan as a sovereign country and is a great supporter of its president. (Some mainland Chinese are sore losers.)\n\nPresident Chen Shui-bian\n\nVice President Lu Hsiu-lien\n\nHead of Government: Premier (President of the Executive Yuan) Frank Hsieh
