2009年2月7日上午前往台北世貿展覽館時竟然發現幾位荷槍實彈的軍人在其中，原來是台灣的國防部也在其中參展，還實地教人如何打槍呢！
When I saw some armed soldiers, I was wondering whether I enter a forbidden area or a protected Military area by mistake?
Oh, It was exihibition department for the Ministry of National Defense, Taiwan, readers and visitors were invited to participate the shooting training-for fun only!
這是國防部的展示廳，包括書籍等，也宣傳招兵買馬！
Exihibition hall for the department of Defense, of course the counter display their publications and try to recruit new members as well.
那天，是來到台北的第三天，美鐘開始不舒服，就留在YMCA酒店睡覺，沒有跟隨，在下與吉隆坡的簡永裕牧師一起去世貿展覽館參觀台北國際時展，走馬看花，心裡有點不安！婚姻路上，一半出現狀況，另一半的心情也受影響！
雖然說相依為命，相扶相輔，不過很常的時候，人生還是需要單身去面對與克服的。
不過，會場內的卡通人物讓書展有了輕鬆的一面！人生路上豈不也需要刻意營造歡樂積極的一面！
On marital road, we can't expect everything goes well and smooth, my wife was uncomfortable that morning and stayed at YMCA hotel to rest.This was the 3rd day we arrived Taipei.Being bound by a common destiny even complementing one another,a lot of affairs we need to face or encounter by oneself alone!
Anyway, LIVE cartoon character made the World Trade Exihibition hall more LIVELY!Our life sometimes purposely need to create some fun and games......
2009 第十七屆台北國際書展重點特色 ：
用心‧創新
豐富‧多元
台北書展2009年以「泰國」為主題國，探掘亞洲國家的出版趨勢。世貿的三個展覽館區的分類規劃，搭配主題論壇、展覽焦點及出版社的多元活動，據說約有50萬人次的讀者與書籍、作者的相遇與交會，是最具閱讀的盛會。
閱讀，躍起的力量！文字的動力由此可見一斑！
The Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE) is the most vibrant and active book fair of its kind in Asia. The TIBE has successfully hosted 500 international publishers from 41 countries.
Thailand has been invited as the “guest of honour” at TIBE to demonstrate its cultural diversity for 2009. But it seems the language barrier, the“Reading Thai”department was not so attractive.Although the whole exhibition hall was crowd with the sea of people（人山人海），not many readers paid interested at Thai pavilion.
With a population of just 23 million, Taiwan has 9,000 registered publishers who annually bring 40,000 new titles to the market.The gap between Taiwan and Malaysia is HUGH!The publishers in Malaysia need to pursue and put more effort to work hard.
That morning I went to book fair with Rev Yun Ngik from KL, we had a quick and brief tour around one of the 3 halls for almost 2 hrs.
