班代邀約大家921與全國高中、大專院校生一起在凱達格蘭大道為921災民跪禱，同時以學生的力量向貪府作出抗議。老實說，這一切的激動、傷痛、游行、靜坐對我來說還需要經過慢慢的消化來了解為什麼，一個國家的歷史不是三言兩語就能交代的清楚；我只能說，沒有走出新加坡，我永遠看不到這一幕幕熱血沸騰的執著與追逐。 我們從中正紀念堂一路走往總統府再到凱達格蘭大道靜坐，大家攜手傳遞蠟燭，排放在臺灣地圖的周圍，象征照亮臺灣；我有感動，因為青春本來就該是為了什麼去揮灑，只是我還是無法征服電視媒體爭先恐后的拍攝、采訪 – 媽媽要是在cable中天新聞上看見我的臉她會怎麼樣？
Next stop: Admiralty.

Danshui is located near the outlet of the Danshui River into the Taiwan [...]

I could go on about the list of things the Taiwanese have Japanese names (except they pronounce them in Mandarin) for under the deep-rooted influence of the Japanese occupation, but it’s the first day of school and I just want to say that I liked it.
You put this love in my heart.

My new roommate Jose decided to be really sweet and morphed into my part-time tour guide. She’s a 26-year-old Malaysian who worked in Taiwan for two years when she was twenty. In my early days of a Taiwanese life I have come to allow myself to depend on her to show me around. Last night, [...]
