UK lawmakers have recently approved "3 parent babies" law. I personally support the law, in principle, but like Rev. Dr. Brendon McCarthy said, "...the law should not be changed until there has been further scientific study and informed debate into the ethics, safety and efficacy of mitochondrial replacement therapy." I appreciate the noble intentions of the scientists and other supporters of this therapy, but I would advise everyone to hold their horses and fully examine every aspect of this therapy before going any further. 

We recently read a couple of very short poems by William Carlos Williams that were both entertaining and full of imagery. They were also somewhat thought provoking. What I liked most about them was their ability to leave a significant impression with just a small number of words. In fact, I found inspiration in these poems when my teacher asked me to write a poem. The poem I wrote is below. 

Getting Cold

It's been,

She promised me.

You should never trust a cat. 

If you're visiting Taiwan and you have already been to the first go-to places in Taipei, then the next place I would recommend is Kenting. Kenting is located at the bottom tip of Taiwan, just below PingTung. 

What makes Kenting so great is its beach oriented culture, beautiful scenery including verdant hiking trails and people in bikinis, mouthwatering street food and delectable restaurant food, satisfying hotels, convivial camping (if that's your thing), heart-pumping go-cart racing, divine sunrises, and of course, sunny, soft-sand beaches. 

So what are you waiting for? Go on down and enjoy the vacation you deserve. Kenting is waiting for you. (ps: I can guarantee the second picture is from Kenting because I took it.)
