Prominent ruling Kuomintang legislator Wu Yu-sheng confirmed a newspaper story yesterday that he had an extramarital affair. All the Taiwan media are exciting about these kinds of news stories. They even dug up photos of the woman when she was a student and all sorts of other details about her. Why don’t they make the [...]

殖民帝國沒了
殖民帝國沒了“Britain has offered to hand over almost half of its sovereign territory in Cyprus to facilitate a peace deal between the island’s estranged Greek and Turkish Cypriots.” Coincidentally, we just watched “GANDHI” last night and I don’t think any country can be a hegemonic empire any more. 英國交出在塞浦路斯半數主權以促成希臘離島和土爾其間的和平. 真巧, 昨晚才看”甘地” .現今再見不到”霸凌”帝國了.Ying1guo2 jiao1chu1 zai4 sai4pu3lu4si1 ban4shu4 [...]
快!
China Internet activist trial starts before Obama visits with human rights on his agenda. “A guest is coming. Hurry and close the door to the dark and messy storage room,” says Mum. 中國大陸有件網路活動的案子趕在美總統以人權為議程訪問前審訊… 媽媽喊 “有客人來,快把又黑又亂的儲藏室關起來!”
沒安全感
"China is not happy that President Obama was going to meet the Dalai Lama and said that Chinese people’s opinion should not be insulted." "China journalists gave the Taiwan delegation a hard time in the international press at APEC." These fierce actions are the result of insecurity. "中方對歐巴馬可能在訪中後會見達賴喇嘛不滿 , 中國的民意不可辱 " 或 "APEC台灣代表團首場國際記者會遭到大陸記者「踢館」"-凶捍的人其實背地裡是極大的不安全感, 瞭解了就不必太生氣.
解決方案
Allied countries are pledging to send more help to Afghanistan before a much anticipated decision from President Barack Obama on whether to send more troops. If the USA sends no more troops, maybe there will be no need for Afghan assistance. How come I am smarter than those politicians? Weird. 聯合國請求在美總統決定派更多軍隊到阿富汗前, 給阿富汗多點幫助 …美國不再增兵打仗不就沒這必要了嗎? 怎麼我比政客聰明啊?奇怪!lian2he2guo2 qing3qiu2 [...]
殖民帝國沒了
Britain has offered to hand over almost half of its sovereign territory in Cyprus to facilitate a peace deal between the island’s estranged Greek and Turkish Cypriots. It is coincidental that we just watched “GANDHI” last night and I think that the period of colonization is over. 英國交出在塞浦路斯半數主權以促成希臘離島和土爾其間的和平. 真巧, 昨晚才看”甘地” .現今再見不到”霸凌”帝國了.

兩岸 – Cross-strait MOU
Mainland China and Taiwan are ready to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU). There are many new polices being implemented in cross-strait relations now. I don’t understand those things but I like to see anything that can improve people’s lives on both sides. 兩岸即將簽訂金融監理合作備忘錄（MOU）. liang3an4 ji2jiang1 qian1ding4 jin1rong2 jian1 li3 he2zuo4 bei4wang4lu4 （MOU). 一如往常, 我依然不懂現在兩岸許多新法案.

Aung San Suu Kyi
The delegation of Assistant Secretary of State will visit Myanmar pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi and meet reclusive junta leaders. "Aung San SuuKyi and Myanmar" was the topic I once chose for my presentation for political science class in college. I know nothing about politics at all. To tell the truth, I saw a [...]
