No. Those protests just seem to take place where there are a lot of foreigners. And nowadays (since last year) there are quite a few mainlanders who come to Taiwan for a visit, and can thus learn about things that are forbidden in Communist China.

No, we went there late afternoon/evening and the sun set during that time. I was taken aback myself of how quickly that happenes when you're nearer the equator.
How was the food and the shows?
The food was delicious!
I miss it. It's not the same going to a Chinese resturant in Sweden.
The Peking opera show was good, but you could tell that they where students since they made a few mistakes. But I found that refreshing when compared to the perfect drill they usually have in other countries such as mainland China and North Korea. It felt human and not robotic.

Well, I took over 700 pictures on my trip and I'd be disappointed with myself if not some of them had come out all right.
