The wait is finally over for the fans of pop diva Celine Dion, who is holding three concerts at the Taipei Arena during her first visit to Taiwan. At her first concert last night, Celine opened the show with her passionate ballad, “The Power of Love.” She sang almost 20 classic hits, winning over the over 10,000 Taiwanese fans with her dazzling style and stage charisma.
Celine surged to international fame with her megahit “My Heart Will Go On,” the theme song from the 1997 blockbuster movie “Titanic.” With over 250 million copies of her records sold in a career spanning over three decades, the Canadian superstar is one of the most celebrated singers in the world.
Her Asian concert tour started off last month in Tokyo, followed by Macau, Singapore, Jakarta, Taipei, Manila, and Bangkok, before moving on to several cities in Australia and New Zealand next month.

Even as he grows older, Microsoft founder Bill Gates still fondly remembers the catalytic computer code he wrote 50 years ago that opened up a new frontier in technology. Although the code that Gates printed out on a teletype machine may look crude compared to what’s powering today’s artificial intelligence platforms, it played a critical role in creating Microsoft in April 1975 — a golden anniversary that the Redmond, Washington, company celebrated on April 4. Gates, 69, set the stage for that jubilee with a blog post reminiscing on how he and his old high school friend — the late Paul Allen
Australia’s strict immigration policies have long been criticized, particularly for how they treat people with disabilities. Having been residents of Australia for years, Scottish Laura Currie and her Italian partner, Dante Vendittelli, recently experienced the impact of these immigration policies. Their son Luca, born in Australia and diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, became the reason their residency application was denied due to the anticipated high healthcare costs.
