I wonder people in Taiwan had a chance to see Chinese Taipei team. When I
called Taiwan Sat night, my parents were watching the opening ceremony too.
I hope NBC is not controlling the broadcasting there also......

Not Really.

Lin Rong-San, a member of KMT Central Standing Committee and the 
vice-chairperson of Control Yuan, once said that as long as there
is no military threat from China, 99% of Taiwanese will favor 
independence.

The will of Taiwanese seems to be "I don't care whether we are part of 
China or not as long as you don't try to bother us."   You don't seem 
to be accepting that too well.

Schedule of Chinese Taipei baseball team in olympics:
(in Taipei time)

        Preliminaries:

        7/30 3am  vs Spain
        7/31 9pm  vs Dominican Republic
        8/01 9pm  vs Japan
        8/03 3am  vs Cuba

        Finals:

        8/04      #2 vs #3
               or #1 vs #4
        8/05      for Gold
               or for Bronze

We need to win at least two out of the remaining four games in the 
preliminaries to be in the final four, which will not be hard.  However, 
in order not to face Cuba in the first game of the finals, we have to 
win one extra game in the preliminaries.

Well, there is a limit to the sensitivity of radios.  I would think that
Sharp/Panasonic ones that you are looking at are OK.  But, the key to good
reception is the antenna.  If you visit the amateur radio club at you school
(hopefully there is one), someone there can explain to you how to build a
simply wire antenna that will increase the gain tremendously at a certain
frequency band.  Better yet, just go to the club and use their equipment.
Still better yet, become an amateur radio operator and talk to people in
Taiwan.

It's all in the antenna.

On page 51 of Newsweek of July 20, 1992:
       And though foreign tourists are increasingly aware-and wary-of 
       the dangers of unprotected sex with local prostitutes, there 
       still are organized sex tours from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, 
       Australia, the United States and Europe.


This kind of reports didn't strike me first as negative image of something (
how trivial it is when compared to the hideous consequences lurking behind!)
rather, it prompted me the questions "How prepared is Taiwan for this dreadful
epidemic?", "How destructive it would be to Taiwan's social fabrics?", and
"How will the Taiwan government respond to this challenge?"

I don't know if there's some sort of socio-psychological impetus, such as 
enhancing wealth and social prestiage upon others, propelling tour sex business,
yet it seems to be a reasonable approach to explain that phenomena. I wonder if
there's any academic research in this arena.

Fortune cookies are an American invention, no doubt about it.

In the US, I believe that Egg Rolls and Spring Rolls are
exactly the same thing.  I think the reason why some
restaurants call them "egg rolls" instead "spring rolls"
is probably so that the waiter won't have to explain to
the American customers what "Spring Rolls" are.  The
name "Egg Rolls" sounds more intuitive, even though the
amount of egg in egg rolls is almost non-existent.

On the other hand, I don't know why the same restaurants
would use a name like "Mou-Gu-Gai-Pan" when the name
"Mushroom Chicken" would be much more explanatory.

Come to think of it, American-Chinese cuisine is literally
a distinct "Chinese" cuisine in itself.  Are there such
dishes as Sweet and Sour or Egg Foo Young in China, Taiwan,
or Hong Kong?

A common question.  Well, God created humans in his own image.  He gave humans
the priviliage to chose their own actions.  If we were perfect in every way and
had no choice between right and wrong, would we not be robots?

What do you mean by accept?
Biblically, both abortion and homosexuality are sins.  It is very clear as far
as I am concerned.  I could give you a list of Bible versus to support the
Biblical point of view.

In order to park your car in the wrong side of the street, people
has to drive in the wrong side of the street first.
So by parking in the wrong side of the street, people acturally
violates tow traffic laws.

I do not know where is people's common sense, or maybe some
people does come from a place without any roads. So they
presume they can drive what ever ways they want.

   People in Taiwan don't dare claim TI right now is they are really afraid of
   China's military attack , they don't think the military threat by China is
   false . That's why China never gives up its military threat . Besides in 
   Taiwan , TI is still forbiddened by KMT goverment , people still don't know
   what the reality of TI is . As long as TI can has a fair Chance to be 
   discussed with Unification , I think people will accept TI . ( my own opinion
   ) 
   The reality in Taiwan is KMT goverment is leading Taiwan toward TI but in 
   order to defend its political rightness of tradition ( Fa3 Tong3 Shen2 Hua4 )
   , it claimed itself to be the goverment of China . Now this is getting weaker
   but still hindred by the right wing hard liner of KMT ( non mainstream facti-
   on ) . There's no time-schedule in the so called " Nation-unification guid-
   line " claimed by KMT goverment . If you really want unification , how can 
   you make a guidline like this ? No wonder this has been criticized by both 
   DPP and unification advocators .  Some people believed that KMT want UNIFIC
   but not with this CCP-China . This is just partly true . How do you know the
   succeeding goverment will be the goverment you want to deal with ? If it's
   worse than this CCP , will you like to unify with him ? A realisitic unific-
   ation planner must know who and what the goverment we want unify with . KMT
   , for sure , won't unify with this CCP-China . What will be the next China
   goverment ---- nobody knows .  KMT claimed that the unification will take
   50 or 100 years or even longer . Who can predict things after 50 years ?
   Is this a responsible unification claim ? Would you still believed that KMT
   wants to unify with China ?
