He told me about his memories of seeing British soldiers carrying their dead. For someone who went through so much, he was able to be happy. After the war, he went to Japan and became a doctor and now resides in Keelung and visits Jiufen now and again. Despite being 91, he still smokes like a chimney.
Wouldn’t even buy it if it was freeHeaven for an Irishman in TaipeiIt’s a beautiful placeThere are stray dogs on campus. They are taken care of by the students and are extremely friendly. They are not feral and add character to the campus.
