I've been asked if it's possible for us to see the pandas that just arrived at the Taipei Zoo. They'll be in quarantine for a month, so no one will be able to see them until at least Chinese New Year. When they are available for public display, I'm sure that the zoo will be crazy busy with so many Taiwanese wanting to see the pandas not only because they're so cute, but because of the HUGE political message they represent. The Pandas Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan's names together mean "united."
We have seen some signage around Taipei with two pandas and things for sale with two pandas. I didn't understand what it was all about until the day the pandas arrived and the Taiwanese Americans on our tour were talking about it with the tour guide.l
