Portland: #2 bike friendly city in the world
Published by joe October 23rd, 2007 in Personal. 0 CommentsYou can decide whether it’s true or not, frankly I have had more pleasure riding my bike in Seattle than Portland… but at least Portland is trying hard. Hopefully by the time I move there things will get better. I am sick of reading bikers get killed every week!
600 miles of weekend riding
200 miles for Seattle to Portland

A very touching video to me personally. Focuses on how Chinese officials suppress Taiwanese even in the sporting arena. (The video starts with Chinese rep forcefully taking down Taiwanese flag from Taiwanese athletes after the athletes wins the competition). The remark that the Chinese official made after UN meeting was also shocking, “You guys [Taiwan] has already been denied, and nobody cares about you.”
I am usually not a pro-independence person, nor pro-unification. I believe in whatever happens, as long as it happens peacefully, I can accept that. But after these kind of remarks and actions that a lot of mainland Chinese (officials or not) makes, I’d rather to separated from them.
