The Montreal Writers' Storm Sewer

I am Canadian. I'm a freedom-loving person. I love classical music, the arts, and technology. I play flute, I write...and you should expect the occasional political commentary, film review, and book review on my blog. Most of all, enjoy the photos, the majority from North-Central Taiwan! I welcome your comments!
