About Taiwanese Lifestyle
During the last year, with a non-existent international traveling schedule, I have had time to consider 3 questions that I have often been asked when abroad:
1. How can such a small country like Taiwan be at the summit of the world’s semi-conductor industry?
2. How did Taiwan manage to produce international orthodontic speakers?
3. What does the typical Taiwanese lifestyle look like?
The answer to these three questions has always been that I don’t know.
Do we need to know the answer to every question?
If I don’t know the answer to these questions, then what do I know?
Well, what I do know is that our JDO has been continually receiving good feedback and the greatest compliment is that this humble local Taiwanese offering to the orthodontic community has led me to be invited to join one of our community’s most prestigious journals, the AJODO, as an editor member. Not bad for somebody who cannot even answer three easy questions! Obviously, my editor work with the AJODO will not allow me to answer such questions, so I have decided to use our very own JDO in an attempt to fathom out some answers.
Therefore, starting from the next issue, we will include a supplementary chapter about Taiwanese lifestyle through the eyes of CC (Chris Chang). Hopefully, as all the questions are intrinsically linked to Taiwanese lifestyle, we (or hopefully you) will be able to figure out the answers to the other two questions.
The first of these chapters will relate to nature, beauty and human interaction therewith - how to design, build, and maintain an eco pond which can accommodate not only fishes, turtles, and aquatic plants, but also humans (mainly myself dangling my feet in the pond) as well as all other sentient beings. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? I hope that you will look forward to this new chapter, and enjoy the rest of the journal, as we continue on our never-ending journey along the path to glory.
