This is the first post for The Foreigner in Formosa. Welcome to the site.
I envision this blog as a kind of information clearing-house and electronic diary. First and foremost, I plan to provide links to interesting or significant stories & editorials from the three English newspapers that are published in Taiwan. The emphasis will be on subjects directly or indirectly related to Taiwan.
With regards to these, I will sometimes provide my own thoughts and comments, based upon an anti-communist, pro-democracy weltanshuung. Those with differing world-views may not find that this blog suits their tastes.
C’est la vie.
Readers should bear in mind that the opinions expressed in this blog are not necessarily those of the Taiwanese. Rather, they are those of an outsider, a stranger, a foreigner in Formosa.
In short, they are mine, and mine alone.
– The Foreigner.
