Enjoyed learning about the guy who tried to develop artificial insemination in the mid 19th century but kept failing because he thought ovulation occurred during menstruation.

One week after its release, "Nezha 2" is already the new highest-grossing Chinese animated film of all time (box office: 5.4 billion yuan / 740 million dollars).
It thus beats its own previous record (also little talked about abroad) held by the 1st "Nezha" film (5 billion yuan).

So, NPR let me do an audio postcard on my very particular trash routine in Taiwan that turned into more of a self-reflective essay on my neuroses...

A love letter to Taiwan's meticulous — and frustrating — trash collection system
NPR's Emily Feng bids goodbye to Asia — and to Taiwan's strict trash collection system, which she unexpectedly grew to love.
