The Match Cafe in Taichung is not only a politically progressive workspace in the shadow of Taichung’s iconic Golden Jaguar… they also have a very fine and quite boozy tiramisu.

Neighborhood temples are often far more interesting that the larger and more famous temples. These are the everyday, low-key sites of private communion.
I’ve enjoyed a week of visiting my neighborhood sites of worship and paying more attention to these quiet focal points in the community.

“Evil slaves bullying their masters”
Lo Ming-Tsai, son of Celestial Alliance godfather Lo Fu-chu says the quiet part out loud and betrays the longstanding viewpoint held by the KMT toward Taiwanese in describing the recall campaign.

Sometimes Taichung really surprises…
Discovered Miss Steak walking past and gave it a try last Friday. Just a single chef plying his culinary artistry. Everything was fresh and unique to the venue… even the cocktails were originals.
Not just black sesame seeds to signify “fancy”. Not overpriced.

In the 2017 animated film, On Happiness Road, April 5, 1975 is represented by the shared memory of heavy rains on the day CKS died. The film depicts the somber public performance juxtaposed with the joy at the birth of a baby, betraying the thoughts of Taiwanese on the inside— new beginnings.
