The display space includes what every attendee might expect: handouts on trips that focus completely on Taiwan and literature on trips to Southeast Asia and China with a stopover in Taiwan. There are maps of Taipei that display markets and restaurants and hotels.    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How Do My Experiences of Joining Local Art Activities Enforce Sympathy for Tamsui? ireport.CNN.com By ray310221 I was part of members of Tamsui local costume march, and I was one of the actors of the local environmental drama performed by residents outside in Tamsui. I am a student of Tamkang University who came from Yun-lin County as a College student in Tamshui. Originally I like the beauty of Tamsui landscape, nature, history heritages, and convenient life functions. The activities enhance my love toward Tamsui. I love Tamsui more by now. I sensed a different touching feeling toward Tamsui during the process of the activities, but I wonder what it is. I think I have to find it out from the beginning to the end. I will go through local landscape, space, sense of place, and land issues of Tamsui.    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BBC News By Carmen Roberts It is the southern-most outpost of the Republic of China and, it&#8217;s safe to say, a place unlike any other in Taiwan. The Taiwanese call it Lanyu or Orchid Island, named after the beautiful flower that has almost been picked to extinction. The locals call it &#8216;Pongso No Tao&#8217; or &#8216;Island of the People&#8217; in their native tongue. This mountainous island, carpeted by lush rainforest, is home to the Yami or Tao people. With a population of less than 4,000, the Tao community counts for just one per cent of the indigenous population and is Taiwan&#8217;s smallest aboriginal tribe.    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The China Post February 25, 2011 TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan expects to see a further rise in fuel surcharges for air travel in March as political turmoil spreads in the Middle East and North Africa, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) said yesterday.

During the same period in 2009, the surcharges were NT$298 (US$10) and NT$774 (US$26), respectively.     [FULL  STORY]]]></description>
