When I picked up the vase, there were some lights
that shined out, and it took me to another time-1999.
The time that had 921 earthquake. When I opened my
eyes, it was night, everything was quiet. Suddenly,
the ground shook, the buildings fell down, everyone
shouted and was running. I ran with them and saw a
big strange building. Later I saw a man and a woman
that hugged a child that is just three years old.
Why did the child look like me? I asked myself.
Than I discovered that the building looked like my
home, I am very touched because I know that my mom
and dad love me so much or they would not do such a
thing. Finally I came back to my own time, and I know
my mom and dad love me so much.
This students were given a magic vase, that would
transport them back in time. I showed the studetns
a brief slide show of the last 100 years in Taiwan.
I was surprised to hear the child's version of the
event I witnessed.

Taiwan Nazi Youth
Stumbled on this while looking around Taiwan yahoo.
Link in the title
The NSA is focused on promoting nationalism and limiting the number of foreign workers in Taiwan.
趙威的組織只有二十名登記會員，但卻正要展開一趟環島汽車之旅以擴充會員數。雖然該組織採用的語彙和二戰期間滅絕六百多萬歐洲猶太人的德國納粹黨類似，但趙威卻說他的組織並非一個反猶太團體。他說，國家社會主義學會的重點是在鼓吹民族主義，以及限制台灣的外勞人數。

Faces of Viator I
Kevlar will recognize this kid immediately.
If he can't he should pause a sec before he reads on.
He's in high school now but Kev had him back in his junior high days when he would follow him around campus chanting the word "Penis!" over and over again.
I observed it on a few occasions, normally walking somewhere on campus together.
Their exchanges usually went something like this.
Student: Kevin Teacher! Kevin Teacher!
Kev: Oh, Christ! It's Penis Boy. (groans)
S: Hey Teacher Kevin! Penis!
K: Hello, Alan. Can I help you?
S: I have to tell you something.
K: (sighs) Yes?
He leans in close to Kev, cups his hand to his mouth and whispers,
S: Penis. (maniacal giggling)
K: Don't you have somewhere to be?
S: Peenisss!
K: Okay Alan, we'll see you later. ( We walk away )
S: Teacher Kevin! Penis Teacher!
K: I hate that kid.

Kevlar 5.0
Good Lord that previous Gary Kasparov and the Flying Penis title is getting really annoying to look at every time this page loads that something absolutely must be done.
If you stopped by here in May you were treated to a gripping story about park sod, the gravity of elementary scrota and a flying penis threatening a Russian chess master.
What a month!
Needless to say both Kev and I were on hiatus. Separate vacations from the blog world.
I did see him a couple of times over the month however and I gotta say the once emaciated Kevlar of yore has been replaced with a rounder, chunkier version. Kevlar 5.0. If that sounds fatter and rosier, Kevlar 5.0 it is. Quitting smoking has positively ravaged his bony physique. He kinda looks like me now, just hairier and in Hawaiian shorts.
In all seriousness though, good on Kevlar for getting off the weed. It's harder to get him out for a brew these days which kinda sucks 'cause I'm leaving in 5 weeks and it'd be nice to see him a little more often. On the upside, when I do see him there's far more of him to see!
Beers at Fairies Thursday evenings til late with John and sometimes Dean-o too. (after the kids are to bed) Come on out to chew the fat. DWayne's there almost every night, earlier though. I may be there on Tuesdays too...
