For those in the group coming for the first time, they were surprised at the enthusiasm of the celebration. Perhaps this is because in Taipei many people see Double Ten as just a chance to take a day off, and the activities held in the plaza in front of the presidential office building are mostly the same every year. Or perhaps it is because Taiwan and Hong Kong have been separated for 40 years.
或許是身在台灣，總覺得雙十節就是放假，總統府前的種種慶典千篇一律沒啥好看，或許是台灣和香港四十年來確實相當疏離，第一次參加大會的人都表示對於港人慶祝雙十節的熱烈覺得十分驚訝。
