Computex Taipei has recently come to a successful close for another year. It seems that trade shows in Taiwan, big and small, all have to have “show girls,” who use up photographers’ film and memory card space, if they are to win media attention. The online discussion sparked off by the decision of a NTU (Taiwan’s premier university) to chose being a show girl as her career showed that there will always be controversy in Taiwan when a top student, and a female at that, chooses an unconventional career.
