Greetings from my part of the world.

How Y'all doin'?

The last day of November was warm and sunny here on Zhang shu Rd. The locals were in shorts and T-shirts. I adventurously wore flipflops to the convenience store. Was I being too daring?

Oo la la! In Taiwan it's $6.00 for each 125 grams.

Han Suyin's father from Chengdu was in Europe as a guest worker during WWI and vividly described his Chinese comrades' disgust at the cheese markets.

Idealized view of Taiwan Min-nan style farmhouse with mountains in the background and the urban reality.

'Picture this: You’re a man of means in colonial Taiwan—a government official, say, or a business leader—and you want to show off your status to your peers. Where do you go? The photo studio, of course.'

As photography became more popular in occupied Taiwan, the camera subtly captured the shifting boundaries between Japanese colonizers and their Taiwanese subjects.

But, of two, one flesh; and she shall be
His helpmate.'

Maga time, and the livin' ain't easy
Trump's on my mind
Little blue states are all queasy

Hush, little liberals, don't you cry
You'll own nothin' soon
And you'll know why

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
But your woke tears
Will mean nothin' to the king.

When I first came to Taiwan there were still restaurants featuring dog meat. Now people push dogs around in baby carriages so they can take them on public transport.

Taiwan is about the size of the Netherlands with a population similar to Sr Lanka but you won't find any statistical information on it at the UN sites.

Epic documentary "From Island to Island" explores Taiwan's complex identity under Japanese rule during WWII. Director Lau Kek Huat's almost-five-hour work pushes back against the oversimplification of labeling people as either victims or perpetrators in wartime.

Aiya! General Bonespurs would have gone to save our people, lol. Reagan sold missiles to the mullahs and had them release the hostages after Carter's defeat. Now, tRump two point oh will show the world why it needs to respect Merica. Welcome Weimar Redux!
