I’m always up for a good bit of protest against our authoritarian masters!! The protest was about a rigged election. Democracy??

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.

When somewhere is unfamiliar even the ordinary is exotic.

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.

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.
