"It's exhausting to grasp every opportunity to return to Kaohsiung having family reunion during the vacation. Because before we see our loved ones, we have to come up against long queue for tickets and endless south-bound traffic jams. These hardships and pains are not something those big governors living in the palace in Taipei can ever understand. If southern Taiwan had developed an environment that features better working conditions and study atmosphere, I must have stayed in southern Taiwan and wouldn't have to confront all these bitterness..... Do people even know the fact that over three-fourths of universities in Taiwan are based in the teeny flat land north of Hsinchu? Not to mention all the major companies, better working remunerations are treasured and collected in Taipei. Every time, when it comes to holidays, the north-south bound traffic becomes a mess. The whole of these entire messes are the consequences of the unfair distribution of the resources in the north against southern Taiwan. That's why we see many migratory birds on the streets just before and after the vacations in Taiwan."
