I remember about 5-6 years ago it seemed like the locals got into it a little more, but now it seems they are just bored with it all and its just another work day. I think it was just a passing fad like the egg tarts. <BR/><BR/>I use to like to go to the Regent hotel here in Taipei for Christmas because they always had a nice tree and music, but I've kinda lost that Christmas spirit too. <BR/><BR/>One thing I find strange is that still to this day the cable TV company in Taipei hasn't figured out that Christmas (and Chinese NY) is a great/special day to play a good (new) movie on HBO.<BR/><BR/>The good thing is that at least in my local breakfast shop the Merry Christmas signs that are hanging all year have some meaning.<BR/><BR/>FWIW: Merry Christmas to you and your family Michael. The photos you posted for today are great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1166959301521235402006-12-24T19:21:00.000+08:002006-12-24T19:21:00.000+08:00so is it safe to say the DPP is "The Grinch That S...so is it safe to say the DPP is "The Grinch That Stole Christmas"?<BR/><BR/>(that's a JOKE, people)Prince Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450025030425929910noreply@blogger.com
