Whilst browsing the Internet I figured out that today is not only Columbus Day but also double 10th day in Taiwan. This is a celebration of the true government of the Republic of China Based in Taiwan. It has been celebrated since 1911. If I lived in Taiwan I definitely would have a colt 1911.

No matter how old you get you can always learn new things. I learned something new already this morning.

The national holiday known as Taiwan National Day or Double Ten Day is observed in Taiwan every year on October 10. Nearly all Taiwanese have the day off from work. In mainland China, Double Ten Day is known as the Anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising, where commemorative ceremonies are conducted. In Taiwan, thousands of people flock to the capital to attend the large celebration parades in front of the presidential palace. Attending foreign diplomats and dignitaries sit alongside the president and view the people taking part. Events include military parades, dancing, music, and fireworks.

Taiwan National Day commemorates the beginning of the Wuchang Uprising in China on October 10, 1911. The revolution brought an end to the Ching (Qing) Dynasty, which the Manchus had created in 1644. The insurrection resulted in the establishment of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912.

I don’t think you want to be caught with a Colt 1911 in Taiwan unless you are looking for a death sentence.
I love visiting Taiwan and feel safe everywhere.

Here’s an interesting observation. Although it changes every year, the dates 4/4,6/6,8/8,10/10 and 12/12 are always the same day of the week as the last day of February. The dates 5/9, 9/5, 7/11 and 11/7 are too.

Ecclesiastes 12 (the end of)

11. The words of the wise* (Y'S) are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings, which are given by one shepherd:
12. And furthermore, by these, my son, be admonished; of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh:
13. The end [סוֹף] of the matter, all has been heard; Fear God, and keep his commandments [2208, milui = 358 x 10]; for this is the whole duty of man:
14. For God shall bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil:

Next verse in the Tanakh:

Esther 1:1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, this is Ahasuerus who reigned, from Hodu to Kush, over one hundred and twenty seven provinces:

This is a celebration of the true government of...

Isa 9.5. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called

Wonderful counsellor of the mighty God, of the everlasting Father, of the Prince of peace:

In fourteen hundred and ninety two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
And his interpreter was a Jew
Whose name was Lou [ל"ו ,לו]
And that is true.

Esther 1 is about adding "On" to the end of Taiwan. 😉
