Typhoon Morakot

Typhoon Morakot has severely damaged southern Taiwan. Do not worry, me and everyone I know are fine, and all my itinerary will be in the unaffected areas in Taiwan. In the past 10 days, many sad stories and many touching scenes have demonstrated the reality of mother nature and human nature. I feel the pain for all the victims and their families, I also feel very sad for this happening in Taiwan, but most of all, I really worry about the future for Taiwanese and any other human being on earth considering the unpredictable rebound force of global warming.

This morning, there was also a magnitude 6.5 earthquake in Taiwan; we were waken up by earthquake in Japan, and now in Taiwan. Nature will always win, unless human can live harmonically with nature, we will always lose.

What will it become for all of us ? I do not know, I just hope I can do more for Taiwan, for earth and for human beings.

More than 64 countries and 12 international organizations have provided helps and assistance, thank you all.
