My Beautiful Home Town

I've lived on this land for more than twenty years. The view of Taiwan is familiar to me, but might be strange to you. Thus I'll try to find some special pictures and try to illustrate to you.

You'll need to know where Taiwan is. I found this picture on google Image search. To tell the truth, Taiwan is an island, a very small island. We're just beside the main land China. For about half a century before, we were still one country. But now, we're not for some political reasons. I'll try to talk about this maybe in the articles in the future~ It's a totally different topic. The Pacific Ocean lies just right beside Taiwan. Therefore, we're one of the important transfer post around the area. Although we don't have much natural resources, we can increase our competitiveness and stand still while the depression. I'll try to do some wrap up of our history and post it to you maybe someday in the future too.

In Taiwan, we've got the flag. This flag has some very important meanings. First part is the "Blue" part. That is a symbol of the character of we Chinese people, we do everything fair and without artifice. Next, you see the white sun in the top left? The twelve triangles means the twelve months during the year. We hope that everyone will remember what we should not be frivolous all the time. Also, it represent the twelve martyrs during the revolution. We'll need to remember what they did. We must hold our faith still, remember how they fight for the democracy. And the red part, it represent the martyrs' blood. They bled to fight for us. How are we going to enjoy the democracy without them? I don't know, maybe you'll say it's kind of silly, but we really need to treasure what we got now.

The capital of Taiwan is Taipei. Taipei is a place at north of Taiwan. Recent couple years, we've build the highest building in the world called "Taipei 101". It's a famous building, maybe some of you might have heard of that! Right on last week, the company which owns Taipei 101 held a competition. There are 2046 steps of stairs to get the top of the building. The competition is to clime up to the top from the first step. Many great competitors come from all over the world. Few years ago, many architect didn't believe the possibility of Taipei 101. They thought that it's too hard for us. However, we've proved that we've got something. We've accomplish something that is great enough as a miracle.

Anyway, I'll try to tell you more next time. I need to take a break later~
