1. I feel kind of sorry for the horses they were leading through the temple procession.  I doubt they enjoyed the firecrackers.

3. 近年地震災害不斷 or "in recent years disastrous earthquakes have been unceasing."  Honestly, who writes this stuff?  I get that it's Yahoo News, but that statement just isn't accurate.  Yes, we have earthquakes, but it's not like we're living in a disaster movie.

4. When I think about it, I should probably be spelling 學甲 as "Xuejia" for the sake of consistency, but I've been spelling it "Shuejia" for so long it feels weird to do otherwise.

5. This long history is sometimes to their detriment.  The use of fish ponds lowers the level of the surrounding land, leaving it very vulnerable to flooding.  Drive up the Western Coastal Expressway (#61) after a typhoon and you'll see what I mean.

6. Is this a sound economic policy?  Does it really pay off in the long term?  Does it force farmers to rethink what kind of crops they grow, and the potential markets for these crops?  I would have to know how often and under what circumstances this policy is implemented.  Seems like they do it a lot.
