A divergence from your usual posts today, sssj, and one that's remarkable in a way.

You permitted your followers to see a more reflective side of you as you recounted the intricacies of the troubled relationship between China and Taiwan --a topic that I would be wary of exploring.

I think you did an admirable job of trying to be objective and cognizant of both sides although we both know your education was biased in this regard, but you have made every effort to see the merits of each side's point of view and I think that's impressive, even admirable.

Some say beauty is the only thing worth having in a woman but I think beauty and intelligence complement each other in comprising a fully mature human being and I believe your openness to new experiences has deepened your appreciation of various countries' history and culture.

One of your respondents called you a history teacher, and I think that comment wasn't far off the mark.

You're not light duty, sssj, and you're not afraid to weigh into even controversial matters.

Yes, of course, there was the obligatory tour of monuments and tourist sites as well as a visit to a simple local restaurant offering homemade food, but for me, the impressive thing was how you navigated the minefield of China-Taiwan relations.

Finally, I had to smile at the museum showcasing so many of Chiang Kai-Shek's personal belongings--it reminded me of the Elvis Presley museum in Niagara Falls complete with pink Cadillac.

I suppose even political leaders can become celebrities.

An intriguing post today, @seetsssj
