“我们不说，不说，” said another (Translation: “We won’t talk about it” or “We don’t talk about it”) highlighting the continuing tension concerning the governance of Taiwan.
Ma Ying-Jeou won the Taiwanese election today with 58% of the votes. His victory marks Taiwan’s return to the hands of the Kuomintang (KMT) party, which supports the current status quo with China.
The win will smooth over Chinese-Taiwan relations for a while – reunification won’t be an issue anytime soon – but I wonder how the return of the Nationalist party to Taiwan will affect the rest of the world.
More on Grand Asia Market soon…

i love grand asia! the buns and pastries are so delicious. last time i had the pork and quail egg, yum! i want to try a durian fruit from there sometime because I hear they’re super stinky and one of the most unusual things you’ll ever put in your mouth. the place is also so colorful.

I’ve never had durian fruit either, but I hear the same things about it. If I ever get brave enough to buy one, I’ll let you know! We could make sundaes, haha.
