Questionnaire - Result

Thanks for all your comments. I promised to answer questions about me today. Here it goes.

How you started blogging and why? What caused you to start on blogspot and your photo gallery? (Bes )


I have been blogging since 2003. The first blog I have is a Chinese one. I used it to write my comments about books, music, and movies. Sometimes I wrote poem on it. With the improvement of blog website, I moved to another one seeking for better service until now. I write my feelings, thoughts, and comments about everything in my life.

And then, I started my English one this year. This one is a bit different from my Chinese one. If I write something still the same, I am just translating Chinese into English. Since I love Taiwan pretty much and to let everyone in the world know this beautiful place more, I decided to write something about Taiwan, including politics, scenery, culture, art, folk custom, music, food, and everything which makes this island unique and special. Of course, I don’t really know this place that much enough to write everything, I still think I can do something for this country.

Also, I don’t wanna just stay in this island. I am interested in what is currently happening around the world. So I am going to write about not only this island but the world.

Why I started on blogspot…? Because it’s the first item shown up when I googled. :p

There are also some questions about Taiwan showing below:

  1. daily life (Caplondon)
  2. photos of cities and countryside (caplondon)
  3. What would I do as a tourist in Taiwan? (caplondon)
  4. What kind of historical sites? (caplondon)
  5. Good shopping? (caplondon)
  6. Good modern hotels? (caplondon)
  7. What are some good movies that we can find elsewhere in the world that are made in Taiwan or about Taiwan? (Bes )
  8. Festivals of Taiwan? There are so many unique festivals like lantern festival, moon festival, dragon boat, etc. It will be great if you can write the stories behind these and other festivals of Taiwan. And, also how they are celebrated, what is the significance, etc. (rupwaliaktiwari)

Yes, no problem guys!! I am going to write articles about your questions. And thank you very much again.

Cheers!

Iris

First of all, nice layout change. :)

Now, thank you so much for answering my question! I really appreciate the explanation. :)

I think it is a nice thing to translate a blog from one language to another. It helps you refine your blogging ideas even more, as you can probably use your bilingual skills to think up of the same thing in different ways. Even though you started the English blog this year, I think you had a good time writing the Chinese one, as you seem to be running this well and your posts are clear also when you want to convey a message.

lol @ choosing blogspot because it was the first item on Google. :P

Looking forward to the next batch of answers. Thanks again. :)
