This is what I was writing on Apr 25, 2020, 10:42 PM. In Taiwan, we’ve had quite a different story, as you know, so far with COVID-19. But authorities have been quite far ahead of the game… The only real risk now is from visitors and returnees… but they’ve pretty much anticipated most of those…
The randomly sorted album! Time for a jog! But where are the runners? There honestly weren’t that many. But it was a good enough number to be awarding prizes! I forgot to start the timer/activity on my watch. I eventually remembered. So here is the data AFAIK. I did complete. Total time for this is:…
Yes, it’s the new and as yet unfinished Danjiang Bridge in Tamsui. Should open in less than two years. Will it ease congestion in Tamsui? Well, it might. But I think it will only be temporary as Tamsui is slated to double its population again. Whatever traffic problems it solves will be merely kicked down…
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…

Forgive me but my question might be naive: Whether or not Taiwan is the only country in the world that has this requirement isn’t particularly relevant to the issue or that important… Many countries do permit dual nationality and welcome longterm residents to adopt their new country’s nationality without rescinding their old one. The issue…
I thought I wasn’t pursuing a particularly aggressive preparation strategy… but I am mixing it up: long rides, long walks, uphill walks, increasing running sections, short bike rides, rest days… I won’t be ready but at least I might even have a new pair of running shoes! I finally realized that it’s not what people…
In our neighborhood, there was a lady selling baked goods late at night. I think she must have bought them from a closing bakery at end of the night, and was reselling them later to hungry people going home at 11pm. She did a fairly brisk business. I haven’t seen her lately, though. It was…
It might be okay to identify a group of people by their year of birth but then attributing a quality or similarity to every member of THAT group is ageist. You are then verging on using the term in a pejorative sense. Why are you doing that? Because you want to feel better about yourself…? I…
