This Saturday a bunch of us attended the FAPA (Formosan Association for Public Affairs) YPG National Conference. The whole conference was like 2.5 days, but we could only make it on sat. Even though the turnout wasn't so great, I was pretty impressed by the people who put it together and was moved by their passion for Taiwan. A lot of sessions were pretty interesting. The whole day went by rather quickly. One thing that we kind of agreed on is that FAPA is rather anonymous, especially among the second generation Taiwanese. (像默默無名的螞蟻) Sometimes we claimed we love Taiwan but for a lot us, we know little about this tiny island. (speaking for myself of course) During one of the sessions, the speaker encouraged us to write to our congressmen and congresswomen about issues that might concern Taiwan’s farewell. I am not sure I can take that big step yet mostly because my writing sucks, but I can blog :p That’s my first little step to show my support for Taiwan and for the hard working people at FAPA.
On another note: daviwu, are you still alive? We miss your columns :p
