Liuzhou: So you are disillusion then? "(a view the Taiwanese share.)". -Not a single Taiwanese person would ever say that. They might say they are Chinese like a Canadian says he’s Anglo-Saxon, but that’s it.
The number one answer I get from Chinese as to why Taiwan belongs to China is "It just is", the second is "because they’re Chinese". I want to know why Xinjiang people are deemed Chinese then.
Uhmm, this is like asking why does Hawaii belong to the United States because Hawaiians after all have her own culture before they were conquered. Why do we continually inhabit North America considering the native peoples or aboriginal peoples are here way before we came or were born to tthe United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia etc.
You are not really questioning just why xianjiang should belong to China but who has the right to the lands itself. If you really believe that Tibet should go back to Tibetans or Xianjiang to the Uighurs, then you would have no problems asking every americans to go back to their ancestral lands if they are not of Native ancestry, all the australians descendants to go back to England and elsewhere…oh by the way, if you study medieval europe, you would be suprised to find that in medieval times, there was a huge population drifts and kingdoms were conquered and reconquered.
Shall we ask all the saxons descendants of England to go back to Germany because after all the original settlers of England were not of Saxons ancestry.
The only ethical and proper way to do this is, have the whole population of every country do a DNA test and to see if they match with any remains of ancient peoples from the stone age. Oh wait, that means we all have to go back to Africa and reclaim our "ancestral lands" because it is the right thing to do. After all a few million years ago, our human ancestors left Africa.
I’m studying my BSc in South Africa. I want to do my honours in forensics in China or Taiwan. I can only speak the language but I struggle with hard words and idioms. I also can’t read or write. Would I be able to study there in English or would it be necessary to learn Mandarin? Thanks. Also does anyone know a good university in China or Taiwan that offers forensics?
You really need to learn to read and write mandarin first before you would be able to really study and learn in both countries. First stop would be best in Beijing University to study the language first before pursuing the forensics.
Goodluck.
Do you guys experienced lag yesterday? How do you feel about it?
i cant check yahoo emails, and can only open websited based in my country.
the lag is due to the earthquake at Taiwan, thus effected connections including China, Jepun, Korea Selatan, Taiwan, Singapura, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Australia.
The earthquake damaged submarine cables that form part of the region-wide Asia Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN 2), disrupting voice and Internet communications over much of Asia.
APCN 2 is a 19,000km-long fibre-optic cable network linking Japan, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, Europe and Australia.
The network has been up since October 2002 and is jointly operated by 26 Asian telecommunications carriers.
The damaged links are between Shantou (China) and Tanshui (Taiwan), and, Lantau (Hong Kong) and Chongming (China)
yea i’m from msia and i did experience it…limewire cldn’t get connected..i cldn’t even access yahoo or my msn messenger.. according to the local newspaper today..it might be caused by the earthquake.. and I don’t think they fix the whole thing yet..i still can’t access many websites today
but it’s safe to know everyone’s having the problem and not my computer crashing again….=P
How to arrive the hotel from Taoyuan Airport as we will have a self-travel? If there’s any recommended Taipei hotels or hotels with airport shuttle? Please advise the efficient way and possible cost? Many thanks!
The traffic time is about 40-60 minutes from the airport to Taipei City, if you will stay at the city center, most Taipei hotels offer airport pick-up with charges at about NTD 1100-1500.
The air buses with fares about NTD 150 are another choice, if you plan to stay at hotels near Taipei Railway Station and not much luggage with you.
Recommended hotel is Keyman’s Hotel (http://keymans.sinotour.com/) for its ideal location, as you take off the airbus at Taipei Main Station, the hotel is in 10-15 walking distance.
that’s mean you can get your taxrefund at below address:

Thank you for your support!
Try a road with food stalls, scooters and smilingTaiwanese people. That’s what I see when I think of Taiwan.
Mount Zion is located in the Shuanglienku area of Sanmin Township, Kaohsiung County, Taiwan. The community is situated in an area 600 meters above sea level and covers more than 100 chia (97 hectares) of land. In 1963, followers of the New Testament went with Hung Yiliya (also known as Hung San-chi), who they believed was a seer, to the area to begin cultivating the land. By 1980, the area had started to take shape.
Government agencies in Taiwan, however, have traditionally deemed the group an illegal organization. Conversely, the group views the Republic of China government as an illegal organization.
Rumor has it that the Mount Zion religious group took legal action in a United States court against the Republic of China, claiming that the ROC authorities had no jurisdiction over their activities. The group said that under international law, the sovereignty of Taiwan does not belong to the ROC.
Does anyone have details on this court case, and what the judges decided?
I had a friend in the United States contact the Westlaw research service about this. The following is the reply he received.

Jay’s antique shop is located at:
No. 52 Dun Hua Nan Road Section 1 Lane 161

Upon searching, I stumble this CKS Hotel Airport but I can’t seem to find the link where to book it.. It says 2 km away from Chiang Kai Shek Airport… And anyone who got tips (other than stay & sleep in a hotel) on what can I do for a 14-hr layover in Chiang Kai Shek, Taiwan Airport? or anyone knows about the Taxi rates? Any info is helpful..Thanks!
You can stay at Evergreen Transit hotel which is located at Terminal 2 Transit Hall 4th floor right side. As for other type of accommodation, you have to venture out of the airport and get into Taoyuan in order to get other type of accommodation. As for your layover, you can visit Aviation Museum at the airport fo 1 or 2 hours for an admission fee of NT$30 (US$1) or you can venture out to Taipei by taking the taxi for approx. NT$1,200 (US$40) for a ride to its city center. They are many places to visit and for it you can visit Taipei 101, Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall, Taipei Dicovery Center and World Trade Center Area for shopping before heading back to the airport for transit. You can also take a coach by Freego bus to 聯合報 stop and walk to those destination. Ticket cost you only NT$140 (US$4.70) and its takes you 40 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic condition, which maybe more if congested at the interstate highway.
