We
spent ten days in Taiwan, touring from north to south, from homes
to marketing places, and from seaside to mountain tops. It felt
good. We felt good. True, the streets are crowded, there are way
too many vehicles (in particular motor cycles), and traffic is
chaotic at times. But there is order and peace, and traditional
Chinese culture and value is well preserved and observed on this
island. Although fist-fight and scrap still occur in political
chambers, although some ranking officials and their family members
are found or heard to have betrayed their offices, Taiwan is still
bright. A growing democracy with pains and stains is much better
than an autocracy where there are no meaningful opposition parties,
where officials are appointed rather than elected, and where the
media is often shy or shut. We miss Taiwan for our relatives and
its abundance of fruits.
