The theme of this year’s Double Ten celebrations will be “2020 Proud of Taiwan.”
Also from October 6th to 10th there is a projection mapping show at the presidential office building

Did you see the low flying F-16s over Taipei this morning? Two passes so far (did you see more?)
Someone tell me this is in preparation for the celebration this weekend
I hope one day Taiwan gets its own birthday.
there are some videos about the F-16 flying over the presidential office building , as well AT-3

Rehearsals, should be another one on Thursday.
I wonder what would be the date and the event you would hang it on. Top of my head I don’t know of any Taiwan specific event apart from 2/28 of course. Chiang Ching-kuo’s death?
I’m hoping for a new republic or change of the constitution.
But I guess if it had to be now, the election of President Lee through democratic process.
This year Firework show (國慶焰火) is in Tainan , last year fireworks was in Pingtong

Is that part of the celebrations?
And I thought for a moment maybe war has started when hearing the planes…
Helicopters came straight over my house about 6 AM, Chinooks I think, pretty loud.
Last week’s rehearsal certainly frayed a few nerves.
But if you see them choppers carrying an ROC flag, all izz well.
Two kinds. The Black Hawks and other troop transport.
Can’t beat 'em? Hijack the existing holiday!
So much resilience!
Finally saw them Chinooks on the trial flight, carrying the giant ROC flags. 
This poster is next level tacky. The design is anything but proud. More like embarrassing.
this happens when the client thinks he/she knows best,
maybe the designer gave them many options of poster design , but the client just wanted something that looks “out of space, modern and in the clouds”
however the Projection Mapping show looks great
Truly hideous. That thing makes my eyes cry out in pain.
