I went to Kaohsiung during the weekend, and saw a funny bus panel advertising of a affair investigation company. The advertising says "You've broken spouse's heart, but don't ruin children's dreams.". It was funny to see this advertising and quite difficult for me to catch the idea.

SOUVENIR BOUGHT IN VANCOUVER, CANADA
Vancouver, BC, Canada will be the host city for Winter Olympic in 2010, so you can see a lot of official licensed merchandise at souvenir stores. Usually I am not crazy about those merchandise, but one stuff really caught my attention. There was a dual flag pin showing the national flags of Taiwan (Republic of China) and Canada.
In fact, Taiwan does not join Olympic games under the names of ROC or Taiwan due to political issues, it is under the name of Chinese Taipei and uses the Chinese Taipei Olympic's flag. So I was so surprised to see the National flag and the name of Taiwan shown on this pin. I think the Canadian Olympic Committee made some mistake and did not find it. I wonder if China has found this official merchandise and what they will do after seeing it?
So...buy it before it disappears! There are 2 pins showing the national flag of Taiwan at Olympic Store. By the way, those pins are made in China!
UPDATE on Jan. 17, 2009: Now this pin is not available any longer, because somehow they found the mistake!

LUGGAGE LEFT BEHIND!!!
( item located, pending confirmation)
(received at airport, deliver process initiated)
(arrived!!!)After a 12 hour flight, we arrived in Taipei, but not one of our luggage. This kind nightmare finally happened to me after experiencing so many times of flights. Here is how it went through:
- June 8: Could not see on of our luggage. Reported to customer service and got a "property irregularity report", then went home.
- June 9: Got a call in the morning from EVA Air for more detail info about my lost luggage. Got another call to inform me luggage found; still in Vancouver (!!!), would arrived in Taipei next day.
- June 10: Luggage was delivered home in the afternoon safely with a "Rush" tag.
It seemed this luggage needed more vacation; 2 more days than us.

GASTOWN
Gastown is the very early developing area of Vancouver, Canada, so it is an area with some British taste. Gastown is also known for the first gas powered clock in the world. Gastown is a must for visitors in Vancouver, not only its historic charm, but also some souvenir stores and nice restaurants; my personal favorite is The Old Spaghetti Factory.
For those who would like to explore Vancouver City by public transportation, I would recommend you to purchase a transit day pass, so you can take unlimited times of bus, sky train, and Sea Bus in one day.
