1. Part of this issue was the relocation of a local radio station from a building considered unsuitable for use.  Who listens to the radio now?  Is that still a thing?  I'm really not sure, but the radio station seems to be at the center of the discussion.

2. Really not sure who'd want to camp in Rende District, it being so close to downtown Tainan.  There are much better places to camp further east.  "The 218 Camping Park" is named after a Japanese battalion that was stationed there back when Taiwan was a Japanese colony.

3. Someone in Taiwan is growing olives?  Who knew?!

4. I've walked around both Zuojhen Village and its elementary school.  A very cute and scenic little school, but that village is dying a slow death.  I don't think I saw a single person there under 60.

5. I've been there.  If you haven't visited already I'd give it a few months to a year.  There's not much there now.

6. The most likely explanation is that a local man's dogs killed the nun and he attempted to cover up the attack.  The nun was walking in a very remote area and the man had many dogs on his property.
