Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened unchanged at 24,390 this morning from yesterday's close, at 13.80-billion N-T. The market hit yet another new high on Thursday. Investors were interested in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing - which pushed its share price up by 3.35-per cent. T-S-M-C's gains in the local stock market pushed its market capitalization to 28-trillion N-T. It contributed around 284-points to the Tai-Ex's gains and boosted the electronics index by 2.05-per cent. Inbound Travelers Number Declined in April The Tourism Administration says the number of international travelers to Taiwan in April declined by 24.8-per cent compared with March. The administration is attributing the decline to travelers canceling or postponing plans to visit Taiwan following the April 3 earthquake. Data shows that travelers from Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, South Korea and Singapore cancelled the most trips. According to tourism officials, promotional videos of safe traveling in Hualien has been made. The videos emphasize that with the exception of Taroko Gorge, most of Hualien's attractions have not been effected (受到影響). Official say they have also asked travel agencies to schedule alternative attractions when making travel arrangements. US: Israel Agrees to Improved Protection for Aid Workers in Gaza The head of the U.S. agency overseeing American humanitarian assistance worldwide says Israel has agreed to use an improved system across the Gaza Strip to ensure humanitarian workers and aid can more safely move around. Samantha Power, administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, said that Israel has also taken new steps to increase the flow of aid through its port of Ashdod, just north of Gaza. Humanitarian workers have complained throughout the war that the system by which the Israeli military assures (保證) safe passage to aid has been a failure. Power said a system by which the U.N. and Israeli military communicate more closely will be extended across Gaza. US Biden Insists He Stays in Presidential Race Joe Biden has insisted that he is remaining (留下；保持) in America's Presidential race, saying that he the "best qualified" person to defeat Donald Trump. Our Washington Correspondent Simon Marks reports. UN Report: World Population to Peak in 2080s A new U.N. report says the world's population is set to peak in a few decades. The report on Thursday — World Population Day — says the number of people in the world is expected to continue growing, then peak at 10.3-billion in the 2080s. After that, the report suggests the global population will decline to around 10.2-billion by the end of the century. Researchers say this is due to several factors, including lower fertility (生育力) levels in some fo the world's largest countries. UN officials say “the peak is a hopeful sign", and could mean "reduced environmental pressures from human impacts due to lower aggregate consumption.” But they stressed that even with slower population growth, people will still need to individually reduce the impact of their activities to preserve the environment. That was the I.C.R.T. news, Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded every day in the afternoon.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   A few months ago, before Taiwan went on COVID alert level 3, I spoke with Michael Turton, about biking around Taiwan. I remember when there was a push to make Taiwan more bike-friendly and it became popular for people to bike around the island or along the coast. Michael shared why he loves biking around Taiwan and how it is one of the best places to bike in the world. Surprisingly he advised avoiding cycling route number 1, which is the bicycle route around the island of Taiwan developed by the Taiwan Ministry of Transportation and Communications. He also talked about what he's learned about Taiwan's history and aborigines by biking around Taiwan.   Michael is a political commentator, Taipei Times columnist and blogger. We've had Michael on Talking Taiwan previously in episode 119 when he spoke with me about China's ban of Taiwan's pineapples.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   What brought Michael to Taiwan How/why he started biking Michael's website about Taiwan in the 1990s which led to his blog Blogs that have inspired him How he's learned things about Taiwan's local history and aborigines while biking around Taiwan How interacting with the land is a way to get to know the land How biking is a way to discover and learn about Taiwan Why Taiwan is one of the best places to bike Tips on how to get around the island easier with a bike How long it takes to bike around the entire island The lighthouse to lighthouse bike ride How he's able to track changes in Taiwan by regularly biking certain routes The difference between driving around in a car vs. riding around on a bike How Taiwan and Madagascar are the only tropical places in the world that have Badlands Where he recommends you should bike or not Taiwan's steep bike routes   Related Links:   Michael Turton's blog: http://michaelturton.blogspot.com/   U.S. Peace Corps: https://www.peacecorps.gov/   Michael Fahey: http://www.winklerpartners.com/?page_id=622   Scott Sommers/Summers: https://www.intellectbooks.com/scott-sommers   TC Lin's blog: http://poagao.org/pjournal/   Roland Soong's blog East West North South: http://www.zonaeuropa.com/weblog.htm   Andrew Kerslake's blog: https://taiwanincycles.blogspot.com/   The award winning Wikipedia page on Taiwan aborigines that Andrew Kerslake wrote: https://bit.ly/3qSTFbS   Bunun tribe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunun_people   The film, Island Etude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Etude   Yushan aka Jade Mountain (Taiwan's highest peak): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu_Shan   Sun Moon Lake Swim: https://www.sunmoonlake.gov.tw/en/event/calendardetail/673   Sun Moon Lake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Moon_Lake   Taroko: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taroko_National_Park   https://wikitravel.org/en/Taroko_Gorge   Badlands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badlands   Moonscape area of Tainan aka Taiwan's Badlands: https://spectralcodex.com/exploring-the-badlands-of-southern-taiwan/   Taiwan Cycling Route 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Cycling_Route_No.1   Taipei Times article, “Ride to the clouds” by Mark Roche: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2021/03/11/2003753620   Mark Roche's Blue Sky Adventures: http://www.blueskiestaiwan.com/   Alishan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alishan_National_Scenic_Area   Alishan tea farms: https://www.teafromtaiwan.com/blog/alishan-tea-districts/

Matt, who is an English teacher in South Korea, started his trip in Taiwan’s capital of Taipei before exploring the eastern coast and the rich heritage of Taiwan’s aboriginal people in the south.In Taipei Matt recommends eating at the Shilin night market where the fried chicken and the sausage are particularly good. Matt and his girlfriend also went to Taipei 101 (which is now the world’s 2nd tallest building), the Chiang Kai-shek memorial, and an assortment of temples including the Confucius temple, the Bo-an temple and the Longshan temple.Matt explored the rugged and less populated east coast on a bike trip that started in Hualien.
