Even compared to Japan, Taiwan has a better record.<BR/><BR/> Though when i lived in London, there was recycling of paper, bottles, clothing..but individuals were expected to take those items to the special "bottle banks" or "clothes banks" - normally located at a big car park. If I remember correctly, paper waste was picked up from households.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117363929785645469.post-10608202849444605072008-03-06T23:51:00.000+08:002008-03-06T23:51:00.000+08:00hi, however, recycling glass, metal, paper or plas...hi, however, recycling glass, metal, paper or plastic material in London is still rare, at least I didn't see any recycling when I stayed in London from 1999 to 2004. Taiwan has started doing recycling since the Japan colonial period and if you look at the recycling in official buildings or schools (esp. universities) you would find it has been a part of our culture for long.版主https://www.blogger.com/profile/11679992499358698322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117363929785645469.post-70762042760652810722008-01-25T13:38:00.000+08:002008-01-25T13:38:00.000+08:00i feel the same with you about the flea market, es...i feel the same with you about the flea market, especially when i was traveling in New Nealand. it has great fun but people in Taiwan still prefer in a brand new stuff. there are some flea markets in Taipei on Roosevelt rd. sec 2. alley 30, but it's not really cheap there..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117363929785645469.post-89254142388727446842008-01-24T12:45:00.000+08:002008-01-24T12:45:00.000+08:00There's also a flea market in Kaohsiung at Tungmen...There's also a flea market in Kaohsiung at Tungmeng Road and Shihchuan Road.
