Practically you can not say it's Taiwan's birthday. Taiwan was occupied by Japan in late 1890 and back to Chinese's hand on 10/25/1945.

Sad that the mainlander's point of view is so inhumanly selfish to be so afraid to help a dying human being because they're scared of a old Nanjing court ruling. And sad again, that China's political system would let this kind of moral decay happen because of a court ruling.B Huanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989827575216901883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833453887917150664.post-25203881721694066662011-10-17T14:59:20.804+08:002011-10-17T14:59:20.804+08:00Brian bro,

However There are MANY here that have come to MTC with zero knowledge of the Chinese language. Your not alone and MTC is very good at matching you to your skill level and matching you to similar students. After 1 year, you'll be fluent enough to be comfortable around town. But it really all varies on your motivation to learn.<br /><br />@Javier: Thats just sad. The Taiwanese definitely differentiate themselves with mainlanders. I've seen people do the kindest things for others here, from the smallest to the largest of actions. And that I can be proud of Taiwan for.B Huanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989827575216901883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833453887917150664.post-50993230994652600832011-10-16T18:42:49.888+08:002011-10-16T18:42:49.888+08:00Brian bro~~
