LOL! Well… in our area, we have two supermarkets but neither of them is good enough to get everything. Combined they don’t even make one decent supermarket. There are times when I go in to buy stuff and leave with nothing because they didn’t stock any more, or they’ve done a promo and it’s sold…
So it farmers get NT$27.7 for a liter of milk. $3billion / 108000000 liters of milk. ChatGPT says it’s about NT$32 for farmer’s rates in Ablerta.

A few years ago, we went to a popular Italian style restaurant in Taipei, where we tried for the first time an Italian dish called ‘bruschetta’. We didn’t really know to make any appetizer recipes, but this one is easy. Get some fresh tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil, good bread. Don’t forget the cheese, too:…
Fancy a little bite to eat… Lusting for some good German food… Then head out into the countryside of the North East Coast, to a little place called Smoky Inn. It was a little tricky to find (I’ve borrowed the map to highlight its location). You can see the mark there. We nearly missed the…
