I actually enjoyed a nice long talk with my dad on numereous topics. The exchange feels different and reminded me of my age constantly. I can now understand what my dad talks about and that is categorizing myself in that “adult” world.

But he's become cooler too. Less controlling and more willing to find out about our world of the young ones. I think we both changed.

On a side note. When Taiwan won gold medals in the Olympics, there were no flags raised for us and no national anthems. Our competitors had to suffer the humiliation and swallow their own tears of rage. China, with a few words of “Humiliate them or else” managed to destroy the meaning of an international game, that is supposed to know no politics, war and petty squabbles. The spirits of sportsmanship has been destroyed.

I remember a chat with a chinese woman and I asked her if it's ok to talk since we are supposed to be ennemies. She said:”Sure, as long as it's not any of that crap from president Chen”

It made me wonder, what kind of propaganda is the chinese government giving their population this time. President Chen got elected, it means his words represent the majority of what the taiwanese wanted.

Politics… It reminded me of why I didn't want to go into it.
