Following the three-day typhoon holiday at the end of July due to Typhoon Kemi, Tainan had a three-day typhoon holiday last week due to Typhoon Santol. According to my friends, there are no consecutive vacations this year, but thanks to the typhoon, there were two three-day vacations. Two months into the semester, it is now October. October used to be called the Glorious October because of the National Day (10/10), Taiwan Restoration Day (10/25), and the anniversary of late President Chiang Kai-shek's birthday (10/31).

The National Day of the Republic of China (ROC) is set on October 10, 1911, the day of the Wuchang Uprising, also known as Double Ten Day, Double Ten National Day, Double Ten Celebration, and National Day of the Republic of China. The Wuchang Uprising was the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution. Within two months after the Uprising, revolutionary actions succeeded in various parts of China, and eventually succeeded in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing the Republic of China (ROC) on January 1, 1912, making it the first universally-recognized republic in East Asia. This day is also a national holiday of the Republic of China.

On Tuesday morning when we gathered, we asked the children to raise their hands if they had watched any TV programs on the National Day, and more than half of them did, and then we asked them what they had seen. Some said they saw airplanes, some said the street dance was great, and some said the band performed at ..... This year's National Day

就我印象所及，從小學、國中、高中到大學， 似乎沒有懷疑過十月是光輝的，為什麼光輝，一時也難以回答； 是要訴諸民族情感，還是要理性看待光輝十月被塑造的過程。 日曆上印著雙十節，也有印國慶日，反正就是放假的日子， 我來到名間鄉靠近濁水車站附近，看到幅布條； 署名是國民黨南投縣黨部。 但除此之外，街頭甚少

十月一開始，連著兩個禮拜的連續假期，第一週中秋四天連假，第二週國慶三天連假，連假讓許多平日在外地讀書的學子、就業的朋友，多一兩天與家人相聚的時間；讓平常忙碌的工作人放鬆心情；也是多數人安排外出旅遊的好機會；大家對連假的安排，因著不同身分、角色、工作、居住地區而有所不一樣。 許多知名的旅遊景點，平日遊
