Photography – Taipei – Taiwan – 2004 Democracy Rally in Liberty Square – Chiang Kai Shek memorial

We visited Taiwan in 2004 and visited Liberty Square. There was a huge rally taking place to defend democracy against the corruption of the military and establishment. We joined in and waved our flags. I still have mine. It looked very hairy for a time. There were a lot of police and military around and we were the only westerners around.taipei 1 097 taipei 1 086 taipei 1 084

We survived and had a look round the impressive Chaing Kai Shek memorial and concert hall

Liberty Square was massive.

The Taiwanese were extremely nice.

Some of their restaurants looked interesting.

I should have offered to help with their English perhaps?
