Although I have visited Taiwan countless times since my first trip in August, 1963, this visit had two features that were unique for me. First, it was the only time that I stayed on a university campus. Student life is emphasized, as on an American campus — Internet, consumer goods, sports facilities are provided. I enjoyed the cheap, good food in the quick-food court, especially the Chinese-style breakfasts. Different from a U.S. campus, however, is the presence of many dogs, apparently not owned by anyone but somehow cared for collectively and living in peace with one another and the students. At Columbia, dogs are not welcome, with the exception of seeing eye dogs for blind people. Some large mid-western campuses in the U.S. are full of dogs, but they are the pets of individual people. An un-owned dog will be rounded up and taken away. |
