Tainan Foreigner Assistance Center News Letter - 16 Special CNY holiday edition #3
Good news for safety freaks and worry-warts: the government has banned the sale of non-regulation fireworks.
Bad news for the same: instead of selling them, they're going to put untold thousands of them into a beehive formation and actually shoot them...RIGHT AT YOU! It's all done for the gods though so there's apparently nothing to worry about.
Yep, it's that time of year again. Get all your Yen Shui Festival info, maps, bus info and even what to wear in the latest issue of the TFAC Newsletter.
There's also another multi-million NT$ fireworks festival at the closer Luermen for the timid. (And by timid, I mean me and my peeps. Ha, ha.)
And finally, spring has arrived so that means flowers. Get in touch with your inner-horticulturist at the awkwardly named "2010 Tainan City New Bloom Watching Season", an expanded flower display at the Tainan Park. This year there are free craft activities, magic shows and even professional photographers available to take pictures of you and your loved ones for free. There's also displays of an incredible range of orchids so there should be something for everyone there.
In case you didn't know, Tainan City and Tainan County governments are merging so that means their budgets allocated to these kinds of events are larger than ever so that should mean all the events here should be bigger and more polished.
If you do visit one, do leave comments or suggestions. The TFAC will be glad for the feedback.

FYI, if you downloaded the file, you may not have been able to read it because of errors in the file. I originally thought it was how the file itself was encoded but I think it may be a conflict on the site that is hosting the file. I've hosted it on a new site and the download seems to be fine.
Non-geek translation: the previous version was buggy. This one seems to be good. Lemme know if you have any problems reading the file.
sorry, i cant open the file.
sorry, i cant open the file. my browser firefox says the file was not correct decoded.
greetings
You have to download the
You have to download the file and then open it with a pdf reader such as the lightweight:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/
Sometimes you can open it up within your browser but the site that I used to host the file (http://www.sendspace.com/) doesn't seem to offer that option.
If you're interested in my diagnostics so far and might have some insight here, what happened was:
1. I got the file from the TFAC.
2. I uploaded it to the file sharing site, box.net.
3. I downloaded the file to check it and found it was corrupt.
4. I uploaded it to sendspace.com.
5. Verified it.
I do know box.net is in the midst of making pdf files readable right on their site. I guess they're having some troubles for now. This transition might be affecting the files stored on their site for some reason.
If you still have any problems reading the file, feel free to message me and I'll forward the file to you.

Here is a video I took from the first day of Yan Shui in 2008. It is the less touristy day, for the locals. Their is a procession all about town and everyone is burning stuff and their are still many firework cart explosions, the only difference is there are way less people.
