will vote for their next president. It is very different than how things are done
in the states.
All day, supporters have been driving around in trucks and cars with loud
horns on them. Projecting from these automobiles is obnoxious Chinese
voices
telling us all who to vote for. It is noise pollution to the 100th degree!Then in the middle of big interesections they stop traffic to light off firecrackers
by the brick full, bottle rockets, big fireworks, like we would see on the fouth of
July and parades of lights and flags of all the candidates! It is total craziness!
The Taiwanese would have it no other way! Why is this the craziest place I have even been? Why do they not understand what noise violations are? Why do the work and work and work, get taken advantage of by their employers and put up with this? I cannot understand it! All I can say is that it is "fong quang" which in Chinese means "Crazy!"
I have been living here for 6 months now. This picture I took last Sunday. It was the first time I ever saw this many mountains outside of my town. I never knew they existed. They are always covered by pollution. It is the Taiwan beauty hidden behind a culture that is struggling to emerge into the 21st century.
Craziness!
