This year I've found my favorite program: TED Talk. Occasionally I will watch some TED Talk clips on YouTube. But most frequently, I listen to it broadcast from radio or podcast. I even envision to be a speaker in such event one day. Attending the event is another personal wish. Fortunately there was a local TED event organized on last Saturday. With a small fee, I quickly registered for the event even though the event would be conducted in Chinese / Mandarin. Well, there were at least one speaker whom spoke in English. Not too bad. Some of the talks were informative, some were just a mere personal publicity. Overall it was just an okay-value-for-money event. Probably will attend overseas TED Talk if there's an opportunity.

Here's a brief account of my recent visit there (although I still have unfinished tale from last year trip to Taiwan). My first stop was Kaoshiung. Spent a day and a half in the town, then I travelled to Tainan for a weekend symposium. I ended my journey in Taipei for another short hike. The weather in Kaohsiung was quite hot, comparatively.

Since day time was hot, it would be wise to visit Pier 2 area during evening or night. Not many people / tourists in this town. It looked quiet. The next day, I took a ferry to Cijin. The ride was short, about 5 minutes. Cijin Island is a fisherman's village. On the opposite side of the island, there's a beach. It was serene but scorching, to the extent that I couldn't walk m
