Facebook: Taiwan, Province of China ?!?!

“Taiwan is a Province of China”, according to Facebook.

What the hell? Since when did Taiwan become governed by China? It’s common sense that the Chinese Communist government has absolutely no sovereignty over the island of Taiwan. This isn’t even a debatable issue at all. China simply has no control of Taiwan and thus obviously, Taiwan isn’t a province of China. Even Google got heat for putting something similarly.

P.S. Happy New Years!

I Return

Long time no see. I’ve returned from Taiwan! I’m still in the process of getting everything back in order including some RSBANDB stuff, school stuff, and lots of email.

First off, sorry about the pictures XD. I couldn’t get them uploaded for some weird reason, but here are the official ones not taken by me. Please also do take a look at this video. It’s awesome.

Now I need to actually start on my AP assignments, which are due in two days. It also sucks to not have your new schedule because your out on vacation… grr…

I’m In Taiwan

I just got here into Taiwan after flying back from Hawaii last Saturday. It’s really humid

My team had pretty bad luck during the competition. During the double-elimination rounds (two loses and you’re out), one of our motors broken in the first round, so obviously we lost. After that round we took it to get it fixed. While we were fixing it, we were called up again to compete. So yea, it sucked.

However, the conference itself was fun. Got to meet smart people and Hawaii was fun. I’ll be posting some pictures later.

Hawaii!

Yup that’s right. I’m going to Hawaii this Saturday for eight days. As you guys all know, I’m going there for the International Botball Tournament. Right now I’m cranking out the rest of the two days, trying to program robots. I am not even closed to finishing though .

I’m pretty sure I won’t win the giant trophy, but hey, it’ll be fun sunbathing tomorrow, hehe.

After the eight days, I’m going to board another plane yet again to Taiwan. I’ll catch up then. See you all.
