Passport

This summer vacation i want to go to Mainland China to visit Peking. But my passport is out of data. So i need to go to Taipei to apply for a new one. It is so expensive that i need to pay more than one thousand dollars NT to have a new one. I think our government should to reduce the fee because people in Taiwan are poorer and poorer. It's not reasonalbe for him to continue to collect so much fee from us!!
