Soldiers of Taiwan's elite marine reconnaissance troop known as the Frogmen rehearse for Double Ten Day ceremonies at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei on Oct. 5. The national holiday, which celebrates the uprising that led to the establishment of the Republic of China -- not to be confused with the People's Republic of China -- falls on Oct. 10. Legend has it that members of the elite squadron have to swim across the Taiwan Strait to mainland China and come back with a movie ticket stub as part of their training.
