Yesterday was the day of the election for Taiwan president, and it was also the first election for me to be able to vote. I'm not a politic enthusiasm, nor do I have a candidate in my mind, so I was actually voting for my mom, who had an opposite opinion with the rest of my family. I know that as a citizen of Taiwan, I shouldn't be so apolitical, but I think that whoever had won the election, there would be people unsatisfied. For example, my grandfather, who hadn't talk since the result was out and had to take a pill to be able to fall asleep last night. Since it was my first time to vote, I really wasn't familiar with the procedure and had to follow my mom step by step. The last thing she reminded me before I stepped into the private booth was to be sure to press the ink on the blank square 'above' the candidate's number, not 'on' the number. I carefully press the ink and make sure it was printed clearly, but little did I remember that besides the vote for the president, there was another ballot for the referendum on the issue of joining or returning UN until I cast my ballot into the ballot box and found another blank ballot on my hand. Fortunately, I was allowed to walk back to the booth and cast my vote. That was pretty embarrassingXD
