CKS's country place (cont.)

I'm in Cilan because the resort (http://www.yeze.com.tw/cilan/homepage.htm) organized a press event for the re-opening of its deluxe (NT$9,000 per night) rooms after typhoon damage

Matthew Lien played piano and sang (and preached the need for environmental protection and Aboriginal involvement in that protection), they also had a saxophonist:

the new rooms are pretty swanky, here's the bathroom:

a lot nicer than CKS's old one:

mind you, CKS did get the best view:

CKS: greatly neutral and perfectly upright

in the Taipei Times: Old CKS plaque to be reinstated at Memorial Hall

talking about changing the name of the Democracy Memorial Hall back to CKS Memorial Hall, it says:
the Ministry of Education said yesterday it would hold three public forums next month to discuss whether to reinstate the four-character inscription, dazhong zhizheng (大中至正), which means “great neutrality and perfect uprightness.”

but fails to mention that this is also a reference to CKS, whose most widely used name in Taiwan was not Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) but Chiang Chung-cheng (蔣中正). THAT'S why the DPP and other's changed the plaque.
