AWAY~~~

Out on holiday in Taiwan~~~

What's the world coming to?

First things first, I'M GOING TO TAIWAN WITH TIAN AND JASM!!!!!!!! So excited!!! First time taking plane without my parents!!! Haha.

Anyway, there was this Live Earth thingy around the world yesterday, wasn't there? I kinda think it was really good that the media is finally taking the initiative to do something for the environment.

However, I still think it was kind of a flop. The concerts were supposed to be telling people to be more environmentally friendly. But right after the concerts, the people simply left LOADS of TRASH behind. Lots of them non-environmentally friendly too. I mean, hello? The message doesn't seem to have been brought across apparently? These people were just there for the show! Sigh. Seems like it's going to take a long while before people really become environmentally aware.

The question now is, how long can our Earth wait?

Then, was watching the news about the new 7 wonders. I almost went crazy.

What exactly does 'wonder' mean to you? Shouldn't it be something that is so amazing in the sense that it's almost impossible to imagine how in the world people at the time of construction could have managed to pull it off so perfectly? It shouldn't just be something people thinks look nice or it has a great meaning behind it right?

I mean, I'm not saying that the meaning and stuff is not important, but, what's it with the Christ Redeemer being one of the wonders? I have absolutely nothing against the statue, or Brazil, or Christians, or even Christ. But, may I know in what way is it considered a 'wonder'? I'm still trying VERY hard to see how it fits into the 'wonder' category. I mean, shouldn't something like the Egyptian Pyramids make a much better candidate as a 'wonder'? Up till now, people still find it unthinkable how Egyptians back then could have built such an architecture with boulders larger than themselves using the technology back then.

I mean, shouldn't something be considered a 'wonder' cause it 'makes you wonder how in the world did they manage it with whatever they had', rather than 'make you wonder how in the world did it get into the list'?

Now THAT, really makes me wonder...

Well, anyway, anyhow, I'm gonna go back to discussing my taiwan trip with tian and jasm. TTFN~~
