Daily Links...Jan 28...er....29th, 2007.


I am overseas at the moment. Hopefully I can explain why later this week -- it is quite an interesting tale of Taiwan....

  • At Taiwan Matters! madddog discusses the abusive behavior of Chinese, whose intolerance for Taiwan's freedom and independence is mind-boggling. This time the victim was Minister of Education Tu, making a speech in London. Tu gave'em hell; good for him (Taipei Times report). Blogger Fili also mused on this event, and remarked on similarities with the Israeli-Palestinian issue.

  • Doubting to Shuo wonders: does being able to write Chinese really matter?

  • David on Formosa describes recent work to expand the Taipei MRT. Meanwhile in Taichung we're still asking: "what's an MRT?"

  • Prince Roy steps into the simplified vs. traditional debate.

  • Patrick is now Mr. Foreigner.

  • Hanjie reports a vandalism incident to the police. Note the reciept, issued because for so many years the police "ate" cases rather than acting on them.

  • SPECIAL: Taipei Times has article on local blogs and websites by features writer Ron Brownlow.

    1. Michael, you shouldn't be embarrassed to mention the Taipei Times article carries a number of interesting quotes from yourself.

      I know there are plans for an MRT in Taichung, but I have no idea what stage of development they are at.
