A day after suffering from Super Typhoon Talim of similar size as Katrina, Taiwan has pledged US$2 million in disaster relief funds to the US according to a CNN report. While the impact of Talim was much less than Katrina, it was still a very serious storm, so it’s an interesting reversal of roles.
More important than the money is the gesture. I hope this country does understand what is going on. For those here who refuse to help in some way here, I hope it makes them reflect.
