We all need to do that - don’t we?
Well, this is a link to a website that is pretty impressive. I won’t spoil it for you. Just click the link and go there. It takes a while for it to get all loaded up; just be patient. You can play while you are waiting. Pay attention to what is happening 
Let me know what you think.

I don’t know about where you live but the price of gasoline in Taiwan has gotten out of hand!
I checked the price today - liters to gallons, then NT$ to US$ - and found that we are paying $3.75 per gallon of 92 octane gasoline. Compare that to the year I graduated high school . . . .
May 2, 1968 prices
Bread: $0.22/loaf
Milk: $1.21/gal
Eggs: $1.12/doz
Car: $2,450
Gas: $0.34/gal
House: $26,600
Stamp: $0.06/ea
Avg Income: $9,670/yr
Min Wage: $1.60/hr
DOW Avg: 944
Stop the presses - right after I hit the publish button I found a price chart for what other countries are paying for their go juice. Check out this chart that is 3 years old (go to the chart for a list of 37 countries)
I’ll stop whining now.

We’ve always thought is was a little strange that Taiwan did not have a real embassy. According to this hot off the press release from the AP, that may soon be changing - at least in appearances.

I came across this article today and thought it did a good job of describing the situation in China as I hear it from co-workers. Read about the government’s policy toward, and treatment of, Christians.

I read an article on a plane ride yesterday that breaks my heart for many of the Taiwanese people. Each year there is a big procession around parts of the island where people can come out and show devotion to and to be blessed by a hand-made wooden idol. It is Matsu, the goddess of the sea. Click the links below to read the newspaper articles and see pictures of the procession.
