As I understand it, the Taoyuan bus company is still the shell company for many of the Wu family holdings. Back in the old, old days, local bus companies were the foundation of a few local factions. Back when I arrived in Taiwan, the Taichung City buses were run by the Chang faction, the Renyou buses were run by the Lai faction, and people in Taichung constantly complained that Taichung had the most expensive and lousiest local buses in the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-14250363233566475532014-12-06T20:25:32.515+08:002014-12-06T20:25:32.515+08:00Wu's grandfather did indeed build the family b...Wu's grandfather did indeed build the family business on buses.

I find that it is nearly impossible to have any type of intelligent dialogue with any of these money chasing sellouts.<br /><br /><br />re: Cary Video link..... WTF is she thinking? I know, its made for the childish mentality of many Taiwanese and their stupid love for cutesy cartoons. How embarrassing this is associated with Taiwan.
