I’m always up for a good bit of protest against our authoritarian masters!! The protest was about a rigged election. Democracy??
Taipei – attending an antigovernment demo in Liberty Square! 2004.
A few images from Taipei.
As Taiwan is being threatened with annihilation by China it reminded me of our wonderful visit there in 2004. I thought I’d dig out some images.
Taipei – Taiwan – 2004 Democracy Rally in Liberty Square – Chiang Kai Shek memorial
We were lucky enough to stumble across a massive protest in support of democracy taking place in Liberty Square. We had to join in!
Taipei – Taiwan – streets and parks
When somewhere is unfamiliar even the ordinary is exotic.
Taipei – Taiwan -The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
This was a hugely impressive square and mausoleum.
Taiwan – photos from around Taipei
My daughter worked in Taipei so we went to Taiwan for a visit and took the opportunity to tour around the whole island.
For the first few days it was interesting to walk around the city and get a feel of the place.
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.
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?
