Little Temple @ Hongshulin
Unfortunately, I saw today that it’s become another ‘victim’ of the Urban Expressway that’s being built along the riverside. I’ll miss it. It’s visible on Google – Google Maps but there is no information about the temple. So I’m guessing it was a farmer’s homage. I remember I had images of it from April when…
A lot of people complain about the ‘pink tax’
With justification I might add. However, what color would you call this? The ‘blue tax’? The differential is definitely in favor of the women here. Is that because women buy more T-shirts for themselves? Mind you, I wear the occasional woman’s T and I have to say the extra spandex used in the cloth really…
Taiwan Photo Circuit 2023
This is quite a find. Lots of quality images from 2023 Salon. Click on the red dropdown menu to see the many images: 2 groups 3 sets each contain 5 categories. I particularly like the monochrome sets. https://www.photocircuit.tw Accepted Images are all the images they approved. Awards are a smaller subset. In three sets: PS…

What do you guys’n gals suggest wearing in the heat?
White? Shortpants? Skin tight? Loose? … I seriously have no idea how to dress for the heat this year! All the clothes look so heavy and dark in the stores! So I raked through my wardrobe to find only two sad looking T-shirts in white, apparently it’s not a color I wear much. I bought…
Today’s Shopping
It’s a nice shirt except for the part that I can’t really wear white. It’s just too easy to get dirty. I’m also not sure if I should wear the blue shirt underneath another or on top of. Still like the color. In fact, I probably have too many of those now. I also got…
New Clothes on the Block
Summer clothes. Hopefully won’t be too warm! People say GU is too young to wear. I honestly don’t think so. But you gotta select. TBH, there were a lot of people shopping there last weekend. I quite like the pants… but I seem to prefer the lighter materials of the women’s pants. It is typical…
