Mum in Taiwan!
My mum came to Taiwan for 2 weeks recently to visit me and see a little of the island.
She had a great time - all my friends were really nice to her, and helped me to show her some cool places. I saw a few new places myself, too..
Mum, Leila, Ethan, and their children, shopping […]

Friendship is shameful?
I wrote a post about how it seems that the desire for friendship, purely for the sake of friendship itself, sometimes seems to be considered shameful in Taiwanese society. Instead, it feels like you must have some ‘justification’ for seeking contact with other people - research, language exchange, employment or whatever. Dating seems to be […]

In fact, there is a much nicer solution than ‘POP3′ email (outlook express), or webmail, which surprisingly few people […]

Unusual Protests in Asia…
I recently came across this interesting collection of photos of unusual protests in South Korea.

I wonder, has anyone ever compiled a compendium of unusual Taiwanese protests?

Taiwan launches new ’stealth tank’?
I believe this vehicle to be the preliminary field test of a new, twin-barrel, single-turret ’stealth tank’ designed to merge almost invisibly with civilian traffic in Taiwan.

The Joys Of Scottish Election Time.
I’m watching the elections in Scotland with some interest just now. For the first time in 300 years, it looks like Scotland may actually stand a chance of holding a vote about becoming an independent country. Wow! You can see the current results here.
These elections are decidely quirky:
The Scottish National Party has moved nationalism/independence to […]
