Todd has some great pics from his trip to Kaohsiung. Scott Sommers has a great post on social class and local foreigners. Poagao argues that the name rectification campaign is dynastic thinking, and that the DPP hasn't replaced the names with anything significant. Because the name "Taiwan" isn't significant, I guess. Marc finds some useful freeware programs. Wild at Heart blogs on saving a local Taiwan dolphin. If you have a few spare dimes, toss 'em their way. Holly says see the Vagina Monologues.... Big Ell chronicles Dog 209 Battlepanda discusses marriage and women's names in local society.

I’m not sure how Poagao interpolates the name changes to be part of a broader scheme by the DPP to exterminate Chinese culture from Taiwan. That’s a bit of pan-blue talk show rhetoric for you. I don’t hear and greenies denying the existence of Chinese culture in Taiwan. I guess “Chinese culture with Taiwanese characteristics” must be an illegitimate concept…..? After all, Chen denying he is Chinese would be like Poagao denying he is American, right?
