Actually, it is not as good as some of the other places he visits in this series (Dublin, Amsterdam, Hongkong) and somewhat boring. He didn't really go to the best places and the people who escorted him around weren't the ideal choices, but anyone interested in Taipei can get a look of city life here. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-38737888381568873342015-09-16T13:53:57.383+08:002015-09-16T13:53:57.383+08:00Hung's facebook post applied hebric parallelis...Hung's facebook post applied hebric parallelism to parallel the original german passage, which also applied hebraic prallelism to be structured. the first time i see this type of hierachical parallelism. she can create a rhetoric structure not easy to defeat. she desearves some credits for her depth. after all, she has made it to being kmt's presidential candidate. an angry taiwanesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-40243897516172483962015-09-16T13:19:24.742+08:002015-09-16T13:19:24.742+08:00great great post! i am less angry today.
