26/08/2004: "TRAVEL ......grafitti at ChiChin Island (Taiwan)"
A message of love from a young man to his lost sweetheart. They once walked the beachfront of Chi Ching Island near the southern city of Kaohsiung, one of the world's busiest ports. This neatly written message apparently asks her to come back to this romantic beach.
There were 19 ships parked outside in mid August. The surf was not happening. But the seafood restaurants were busy as they always are. The sand was near black, heavy with valueable minerals.
Thousands had packed the beach yesterday, but this was Monday and the sands were near empty. They all work harder in Taiwan. No Centrelink cushion. The young care for elderly family members.
