World Economics

I saw this article (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/business/15global.html?_r=1&hp=&pagewanted=all) in the NYTimes. I noticed that the authors mentioned Taiwan and the economic impact on this small island. It is very scary to think about my generation having to overcome many of the hurdles we will face and that the crisis is really global. I am new to Taiwan, but will continue to look for the signs of change. For the past week, I have not noticed a time when the city slept. There are always people out and buying things. I do not have a whole lot of information about the place to be able to recognize a negative change.
