But is Taiwan a separate country at all? I'm confused because of this, where it says "The island groups of Taiwan and Penghu (except the municipalities of Taipei and Kaohsiung) are officially administered as Taiwan Province of the ROC." So Taiwan is a province maybe?

Good Un

From Prem Panicker's blog:

Gregory David Roberts, the one-time bank robber turned bestselling author who famously wrote Shantaram over beer and dhansak at Leopold’s, on his website condenses reader emails and sms-es into a list of 10 most often asked questions, and responds to each in some detail. And then there is this:

I’ll talk about what’s happening in Bombay in the next few lines, but first, before you read any further, I want to ask you, I want to plead with you, to keep the faith with India and the city I love, Bombay. If we continue to visit the country and meet the people, if we spend our time in the beautiful chaos and chaotic beauty, if we spend our money in the bazaars and hotels, if we buy the books by great Indian writers, listen to the music by brilliant Indian composers and musicians, marvel at the splendour of Indian dancers, watch the captivating movies, wonder at the art galleries – in other words, if we go on opening our hearts to the best that India teaches us, the people who did this violence can never win.
