One more thought...

I may not have understood this correctly but a man at the run told me that all Taiwanese men are required to go into the Army at age 20. I think he may have said they go for at least 3 years, but then he also said that the war is over so now it's only for 3 months or so. I was a bit confused and not quite sure what war he was referring to. It was scary to think about though and I am so incredibly grateful that I will never be forced into a position like that. I shouldn't be writing deep thoughts like this so late at night :)
