It’s “le daily”. “Daily” as in “daily life”.

I could see how this place was a hunters’ favorite. I’ve never seen so much animal 💩 along a trail before. And though I didn’t get to see one, apparently you can sometimes spot a flying squirrel gliding in the forest in the area, too. 3/3

This area used to be where the local Atayal people trained and tested their youth. A 15-year-old boy had to prove that he could survive in the area on his own to be considered an adult. 2/3

Bland food on top of quarantine is just too much 😂

asked if she could get a pair of chopsticks because she’d really like to dig in and the trip was still 2.5 hours to go. Customer service told her to wait between car 4 and 5 at a particular station. A station staff member would be there ready with chopsticks.

I’m only just starting to explore this area. I’m planning to do 北德拉曼 (Ptlaman) and maybe 外鳥嘴山 (Wainiaozui) in the next few weeks. And 油羅山 (Mt. Youluo) after that.

I did 外鳥嘴山 (Mt Wainiaozui), starting from 馬武督 (Mautu). It was fun. And this restaurant is right on my way home.

I was just thinking going there after a hike last week but didn’t in the end. Now I have to go.

We know that multilingualism is cognitively beneficial. But this got me wonder if being able to speak lang’s that are drastically diff in structure and vocabulary, e.g. Amis & Mandarin, could have a much bigger impact than multilingualism in similar lang’s. Are there studies that try to answer this?

Then I asked an Atayal student in her 50s who frequently works with Atayal elders. She also said that she didn’t know anyone that had dementia. 3/n

Out of curiosity, I asked a local PM&R doctor if she’d worked with Indigenous patients with dementia. She said no and she wondered if Indigenous people were less inclined to get treated. I thought that even if that were true, that couldn’t have been the real cause. 2/n
