2011 =100

This year, 2011, is our "Republic" Year 100

Of course it's some milestone for us

It has been 100 year since Dr. Sun Yat Sen established Republic of China, R.O.C.

But I really hate this term, "Republic of China"

What the heck?

I understand people called our country R.O.C. when the political situation or some directions of where we were going were still blurry

But now we are THERE, we know where we are going 

We are separate from the people in China

I wouldn't say that we are independent 

but R.O.C. is not a long-term phrase to describe Taiwan, 

a economically independent country

Especially it's been 100 years

You need to DO SOMETHING, government!!

Also, this year

We have created our "Year 100 mascot" 

I find it pointless but rather cute

Its hair(?) symbolises sun ray on our flag which represents democracy and equality

And its scarf is just the flag.

What do you think?

Anyway, Happy birthday, Taiwan

You have been behaving well

Keep going!

And most importantly, I love you!
