According to Wiki, "In the 1980s the Japanese National Confectionery Industry Association launched a successful campaign to make March 14 a "reply day", where men are expected to return the favour to those who gave them chocolates on Valentine's Day, calling it White Day for the color of the chocolates being offered."

The day before yesterday, Mar. 14 (3.14), was a great date, because Albert Einstein was born at the same day 130 years ago.

I and my wife enjoyed a very good holiday that day in Taipei. Most interestingly, we found a vivid statue of Einstein made by Ju Ming, stood still in front of the Chen-Ping (eslite) bookstore.

We took several photos around this statue. Here I share one of them with you.
