Yeah, it worked out quite well, even there were lots of doubts during preparation and a clearly missing knowledge of organizing such big events. They have made up all with the reknown Taiwanese hospitality and warmth.
But still, there was no exposure abroad, and I doubt that Gaoxiong major Chen Ju had the necessary insights as to what would create such interntional recognition.
For example: It was too funny when she led a protest on christmas tree cutting down 2 years ago, even I never have seen a real christams tree in 17 years onTaiwan. I wonder what Swedish plantation growers would have to say about it, and I myself was thinking of Pingdong flower plantations. But the pressing pollution problems have not been tackled enough.
