Audio/video tapes which were rage in 80 - 90s are slowly getting out of fashion. Previously people used to carry cassetes, which you could insert into walkman, home stereo or boom box. Now this has been replaced by digital devices like, Mp3 & Ipods. But can you gift someone music the same way you used to. People seldom notice the loss of this great usage of audio casettes, nor the modern devices allow you to use same application everywhere. You rather have to create many types of files to download and transport. What a loss tech advance has given to users. Remember, when you last gifted the latest song in the form of audio cassetes and how you have substituted it now. Many would answere they no more gift casstets or even worse they don't gift song to their loved ones. Do you miss the feeling it generated earlier!
Taiwanese are gripped into a new Fad. This time it is running. From 12 years old school going children to 70 years old retired person, everyone wants to circle around their own home island. They are not going on bicycle or any machine, they want to complete it on their own feet. Last year in Taipei, Timothy Liu, a 12 year old, with his 47 year old father, decided to circle around the entire island. It has a circumference of around 1200 kilometers. Both of them did it on foot, with some occasional rides from strangers. Summer heat, earthquakes, typhoon and mosquitoes could not make any deterrence to their determination. They completed it in 51 days! This exemplary evidence of courage and determination caught the eyes of other fellow Taiwanese, who too started this operation. This fever is called HuanDao, meaning circling around the island.
Taiwan's President, Mr. Ma YingJeao, circled the island on bicycle during his election campaign. He was followed by a large number of journalists…
