If a leisurely afternoon of high-end dining and watching the scenery roll by from the comfort of a plush armchair sounds like a good time to you, consider a trip on the Sea Breeze (海風號). This culinary, cultural and scenic experience is the perfect setting for a date, a celebratory outing with a small group of friends or a relaxing solo ride. The price tag is steep, especially if you consider the short distance the train actually covers over the 3.5-hour journey.

The harder question is not whether to build more capacity but which
One of the wildest things about the reception of Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chair Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文) in the international media is the way her words are presented without being contextualized, let alone challenged. The Financial Times, for example, interviewing her during her visit to New York, said that she blamed the halt to exchanges between Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for raising tensions. “There has been no dialogue, so you can see that the situation is almost on the brink of war,” the Financial Times quoted her as saying, without any hint that the PRC, not
