TAIWAN
Taiwan is known as "the mountainous island", and is filled with splendid national parks, hot springs, high mountain ranges and lovely beaches.  Modern technology and a strong economy add to the flourishing culture to make for an unforgettable visit among Western tourists. What’s more, prices are very affordable for travelers, and gourmets can expect a feast of the senses with a tantalizing mix of Japanese and Chinese cuisine. Don’t forget such local treats as oyster omelet, bubble tea, stinky tofu, Taiwanese crepes and sweet stuffed dumplings! The best time to visit is during traditional Chinese festivals which occur throughout the year, from national holidays like Chinese New Year and Ghost Month to local celebrations like the Ma Zu pilgrimage.

This is OUR day, not YOUR day

I've noticed a trend lately, which has been around for, I suppose, forever.

But I only just started noticing it in the past few months.
What with shows like Bridezillas and Say Yes to the Dress, I got to thinking.

When did a wedding become a girl's day to act like a spoiled b*tch?

Olympics
I live a mere 40 minutes away from the heart of Vancouver, BC and haven't written a thing about the Olympics. This isn't to say that I haven't experienced anything that's gone on the passed two weeks; in fact quite the contrary. Perhaps this is the reason I've neglected to write about it. There is just so much going on.

The city has been so alive! More Here...

Teen Pregnancy in the Media
The other day I caught the Lifetime movie, "The Pregnancy Pact" on TV which is based on a real life story in Gloucester. Watching this movie really made me wonder what goes on in girls' minds in situations like this. Why would any 15 year old girl in her right mind want to have a child?

I just want to be seen.

Have you ever wanted to tell someone everything about you so that they could understand you?

I feel like that all the time.

The problem with social situations are that a person can only make their judgments by what they see. A stranger could be friendly and talk to you, but if you aren't equally as friendly you may be misconstrued as a snob when really you could just be defensive around strangers or extremely introverted. Only you know what is really going on with your reactions to situations and the only way for others to know is to tell them. Speaking realistically, barely anyone does that. The odds that a shy person ignoring you will say, "Sorry, I am too shy to talk to you..." is fairly low.

Tonight I was in the situation where I ran into one of my male friends that I have only know for a few months at a dance. More Here...

What Not to Do at the Buffet
I went out for Chinese tonight, and, while God knows I can't resist Chinese food, the buffets very nearly turned me off of it. The cooks are fine, the atmosphere is fine, everything is fine, except your fellow diners. Some people almost get as mad as they do during rush hour at the buffet, and others just drop any respect for other people they may previously have had completely.

These are the most annoying ones. More Here...
