Topic: Against the Grain? A Panel Discussion in English, featuring 3 young Activists from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, sponsored by the Lung Yingtai Cultural Foundation (See below information.)
Several of us from TIiA have attended these Lung Yingtai forums before, and they're great! This one is right up our alley...the Taiwanese speaker has even taken action to help Taiwanese farmers--exactly what our topic was going to be for this session. Come along and get inspired!
If you're able to meet up for lunch beforehand, great! If not, see you at 110 Jin Hua St, where the forum will be held. We'll save you a seat...:)

Topic: Happy Birthday, TIiA! 
We're 2 years old, and it's time to celebrate by just enjoying chatting with each other in a special place over afternoon tea...and supporting this interesting community. It was even recommended as a must-place to go to in the New York Times in 2006:
WHAT TO DO DURING THE DAY The epitome of today's Taipei, however, is Taipei 101, 7 Xinyi Road, Section 5, (886-2) 8101-8898; currently the world's tallest building...
For the opposite of such advanced architecture, take a taxi to Treasure Hill, a grassy neighborhood of illegal dwellings that Taipei's Culture Department is starting to transform into an arts district. Its epicenter is the lovely Treasure Hive cafe, 3, Alley 16, Lane 230, Dingzhou Road, Section 3, which holds weekly outdoor concerts.
Here's a link to a local news article about it shortly after it opened last October: http://www.libertytimes.com.tw/2010/new/oct/3/today-north9.htm
Important! Please register for this session by Friday 23 Sept 12 noon so we know who to look out for on the day! I'll turn my phone on (0931-146-481) at 13:00 on Sat.
Hope to see you there!
:) Lynn
