The USA is the place I was born. Canada is the place I was raised. Taiwan is the place in my heart. Tuesday, April 08, 2003. When I was back in the United States in Canada, I got sucked into the whole Reality T.V. phenomena, and like it or not, admit it or not, most people seemed to know what was going on on the shows. Reality T.V. aka Massive Social Psychology Experiment. Who would have ever thought that television would be the next frontier from which to gather social psychology information? Don’t have...

To which the gray bearded scruffy gentleman snidely replied, I don’t see your name stamped on it. Well that’s why I’m claiming it. I don’t want to be sandwiched in there. Well maybe someone else would have wanted to sit there too. Where are you going today? Do you have any explosives on you? Did you drop something? Now that an olive bra...

The USA is the place I was born. Canada is the place I was raised. Taiwan is the place in my heart. Monday, December 30, 2002. How can this be stopped? Taiwan has a history of being ruled by many authoritarian regimes throughout its history and the people of Taiwan have been told and taught that they were part of the Japanese Empire, a stepping stone or stopping point in the fight against Communist China.

The USA is the place I was born. Canada is the place I was raised. Taiwan is the place in my heart. Sunday, March 30, 2003. I felt compelled to respond to an article, The hidden minority. Which appeared in Sunday's Taipei Times. As someone born in the United States of America to Taiwanese parents, I proudly identify myself as a Taiwanese American, not a Chinese American. My parents were not raised in China, nor do they reside in China. Mr Momphard’s depiction of the hidden minority in Taiwan proliferates...

The USA is the place I was born. Canada is the place I was raised. Taiwan is the place in my heart. Saturday, November 30, 2002. My parents are here in Kaohsiung, but since I grew up in Canada, they don't identify with celebrating American Thanksgiving. Perhaps the lack of of celebration is because we don't have much extended family in Taiwan to observe these customs with. I guess they don't feel the need to follow or adhere to any particular customs. This is most certainly not a reflection on their ...

The USA is the place I was born. Canada is the place I was raised. Taiwan is the place in my heart. Monday, October 14, 2002. This is my second trip to Canada in about a month's time and this trip was only for 4 days to attend my sister's wedding in Vancouver. But also because having lived there over 6 years, there are so many dear friends to catch up with there. I haven't felt much like writing recently because I've been so taxed emotionally and mentally with all that's happened and been occupying my ti...

Here are some follow up comments about the whole Tongyong Pinyin vs. Hanyu Pinyin debate:. In this debate about Pinyin systems, has it occurred to anyone to ask how many of the people involved in the decision making are linguists? Should we accept their opinions on good faith alone? Tongyong Pinyin needs to be r...
