Day after 5/17 Rally film

Though I follow politics closely, especially when it pertains to Taiwan(and to a similar extent, China) I haven't really written much about the topic on this blog over the last few months. This is partly because I've grown kind of burnt on the topic, but mostly because there are so many other writers in Taiwan (David on Formosa and The View from Taiwan , to name two) who cover it better - and more regularly - than I have time to.

 
Anyway, this morning I was riding downtown and came across the remnants of yesterday's protest rally, still going strong, and shot a few minutes of film before my batteries died (I wasn't planning to do any filming, just going for lunch).

This picture leaves little to the imagination. And what artwork. Are the Taiwanese always this organized?

That is an excellent image; you know enough Chinese to understand who the horse is, no?

As for organized, well....
as far as these things are concerned, pretty much.
