Some other books at Mollie Used Book Store


I made a routine visit to  'Mollie Used Book Store' three months ago when I was in Taiwan and there was something that surprised me a lot.
It was a regular rainy day in Taiepi before the first days of the spring  time and I was on the way back home while it was about to getting dark. I entered the book store and looked over the shelves to find an interesting book to read. I firstly saw the 'Kapitalizm ve Yoksulluk' by 'Çiğdem Şahin' and took the book to view content. At first I thought that the book should have been left by a Taiwanese student who may be a student at Turkish department at Chengchi University. 'Anyway' I said quitely and have replaced the book on the shelf. But I saw another Turkish book on the other shelf and another one on another place and another one too. 'Wow' I said, 'There are many Turkish books here!' and I started to think that  a Turkish student must have left them there to take some Chinese books.

I decided to buy one of them at first but dropped it out later on to buy another interesting magazine in English. It was so interesting that I have never seen a book in Turkish during my all five years in China but found many in Taiwan in one year. It is surely right that the world is a global village today and nothing should have surprised you in this century.
