- I heard that late night yesterday, too. The same feeling as you have.
- I never thought this could happen in Taiwan in the 90's until now.
-
- The question is then: Is it just a special case or the same situation
- also exists somewhere else?
-
- 738 out of some 40 thousand votes. How many would it be out of some
- 9.4 million votes totally? I really hope it's only a special case.
-
- Nice to see ncku again. I am also from ncku. How is it now? Still much
- more conservative than universities in northern Taiwan in terms of
- politics?
