When I wake up in a few hours, the results of the 2016 elections in Taiwan will largely be known.
It's nerve wracking, I'm anxious and my stomach is churning I cannot sleep. Eight years of the wretched KMT and gradual erosion of my honeland's sovereignty and dignity, tomorrow may usher in hope... A woman, the first female president, the third peaceful transition of power.
But who knows what surprises are in store when the votes are counted. Who knows what dark and corrupt moves the KMT has up its sleeve, and how China will threaten and bully the public...
And even if Tsai Ing-Wen wins, how far down the road to destruction and eradicating Taiwan's international space and existence have we gone in either years? Is there still hope for the country? Will she prove herself to be a capable and strong willed leader?
I sure hope so... I sure am such a proud Taiwanese and will always be Taiwanese.
