Taxes and a ballon

Today was assigned to put together a news clip on celebrities caught for evading taxes. The newest celebrity to hog the headline is Taiwan's top model Lin Chi Ling.


FYI: the sudden apperance of the leggy beauty at the Finance ministry yesterday caused a commotion. The model known for her high EQ gladly oblidged staff with pictures and autographs. Back to the main point, she was there at the Ministry to appeal against the decision to pay up NT1462 0000 in overdue taxes ...

Half way thru was sent out with the cameraman to some protest agst the decrease of taxes at a government building nearby. On the way back, came across a bunch of bright yellow balloons tied to a lamp post. The interesting part was the Chinese words "Ah Bian is innocent" emblazoned across every balloon. Couldn't miss the chance to bring one of the balloons home with me. Nearby there were makeshift tents with plastic chairs strewn all over and not a soul in sight. As we walked further, I spotted a lone protestor crossing the road. Wonder where the rest of the picketeers went... lunch?

In the afternoon, followed Jia Hui for a news about technology companies quarterly financial report... can't remember the details. The sup said its the best piece I've written so far. :)

Met Machiko and her multi-national friends at the Nan Ji Chang Ye Shi, night market... to be continued... (going out for an assignment)
