A project to visit Europe:
I was born and bred in Taiwan. I was born with deformed legs...I had a operation when I was 5 and it didn't give me a NORMAL walking ability. I studied and grow up with so-called normal children. What I learn most and got most is not kindness but discriminations. Too much to tell and too hurt to tell as well. When I was 21-22, I had another operation for my curved spine and I lost my walking ability since that... What I want to tell ALL of PEOPLE in Taiwan or AROUND the world is: What hurt me most is not my physical condition but people's attitudes.
I don't want to say Taiwan is a BAD place or unfriendly place. But .... in deed...Taiwanese need more EDUCATION..to wide their hearts.
To know and to learn. I wish someone like me can do something for those who use wheelchair for live. I know not only in Taiwan but also a lot other places ....people limit their mind by their sight. The only way I can enrich thier thoughts...is just to share what my experiences and my thoughts. Only themselves can change the situation. Bring knowledge into live. That's LIFE.
I am plan to pick up a place to live for at least 1 month.
Rent a house for myself and deal with my daily live on my own.
Besides....I want to know how people go on thier lives in a friendlly environment.We don't have good public system for wheelchair. No bus system for wheelchair... something like that... and it's hard to find so-called handicapped toilet in public. Yes! people usually encourage handicapped people go out..but the very basic for human beings..We don't have it so much..We can't ask it a lot here. Those who don't need it is a main group ..so they ignore it. Little voice is just too little to be heard. Right?

I think that is a reason why everyday I am proud and glad that I live in a country like the United States where education and knowledge about individuals with disabilities are so wide ranged and available to anyone who wish to know/learn more about.
I would completely agree with you, what Taiwan need is education and with that knowledge the human race can learn to co-exist without discrimination.
If you ever have a change, I would highly recommend you visit Europe or even the United States. As a person that only been in a wheelchair for 4 years, I can tell you that accessibility is key here in the US. There are few place that are not wheelchair accessible and I am sure you know that it sure make life a whole lot easier for us.
I tend to believe that no matter how little the voice, voices can change the world. Keep going strong with your project, Amy, I have a good feeling that you will prove a lot of people wrong.
