These days, national flags are seen everywhere, flying along the main roads and highways. This should be for celebrating the Consitution Day of Dec 25, shouldn't this?
na... seems not... people are more interested in Christmas, even though people in Taiwan are more in Buddism and Daoism.
Yet, wait...not the holy spirit of Christmas... almost all the shops are adopting every ways they can think of to promote the Xmas sales. Xmas trees, large or little, splendid decoration or not, are set up in most of the stores to attract potential customers. (my sister just bought one little plastic xmas tree for yaya...) Songs related to Xmas are being played almost 24 hours a day. Press keeps delivering messages that seats for the Xmas dinner in famous restaurents are fully booked one month before the 24th of Dec, whereas its price is 5 times expensive than usual...
What happened? Do we still remember the Consitution Day?
hmm... maybe i should not say so... i am also one of them buying shinny jingle bells and gifts decorating the little plastic tree to cheer my little cute niece yaya up! plus, just came home from a dinner gathering with andreas, fransizka, and the little cute jacob, and my lovely colleagues, terry, beatrice, candy to celebrate this Xmas, instead of Constiton Day...
