Taiwan earthquake

What the earthquake happened on Dec 26, 2006 brothers me the most is that, I lost the international SMSs function to communicate with my dear friends in France and annoyingly have to wait a few weeks for its recovery!

However, a bit amazed to read the news that this earthquake has resulted in a loss of 10,000 Internet Domains in China. Also, a column is written under the title, The world is down, saying that this earthquake also affects the banking, telecommunicating and internet in Asia, etc. As a trivial global citizen, I feel a bit "竊喜" (sorry, I shouldn't!) to read these news that, okay, the world finally gets some awareness of the importance of my island... ^_*

And just while I was pleased for these news, another news grabbed my attention that...
A new guide co-produced by France's Tourism Ministry advises businesspeople not to mention Tibet, Taiwan and the Tiananmen Square crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators when negotiating with the Chinese.

Ha, this reminds me of a Taiwanese saying, "西瓜偎大邊" (xi quei wei dua bing), referring as Climb onto the bandwagon...
