A View from the 'Hill: Kinmen: From War Zone to Tourist Spot
http://aviewfromthehill-taiwan.blogspot.com/2012/08/kinmen-from-war-zone-to-tourist-spot.html
Thursday, 9 August 2012. Kinmen: From War Zone to Tourist Spot. A onetime battlefield just off the mainland coast, these islands are now attracting visitors from both Taiwan and China. TEXT AND PHOTOS BY MARK CALTONHILL. For an experience unlike any other in the ROC, make a trip to Kinmen; nowhere else is quite like this tiny archipelago of islands. So many properties have been renovated in Shuitou in southwest Kinmen that the whole village resembles one large outdoor museum. Another good place to vi...

Tuesday, 28 February 2012. New (light) verse - ("My stomach represents my heart"). To the tune of . (another obvious one). 哦！我愛豆腐，啊！我愛芋圓，肚子代表我的心。 當然都想去，擔仔麵跟愛玉，肚子代表我的心。 我去每個鄉，我去吃看看，肚子代表我的心。 哦！我愛鴨頭，啊！我愛花生，肚子代表我的心。 當然都想去，麻薯跟鴨賞，肚子代表我的心。 Text and photos © Jiyue Publications 2012.

A View from the 'Hill: The journey that changed my life – Cycling Malaysia in 1987
http://aviewfromthehill-taiwan.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-journey-that-changed-my-life.html
Thursday, 18 October 2012. The journey that changed my life – Cycling Malaysia in 1987. Actually, the story starts one year earlier, with my first visit to Asia, to Thailand in fact. Which was a great disappointment. Do not misunderstand: I love Thailand, as I love Malaysia and Taiwan, and many other countries. This could have been the most stupid thing I had ever done, but it turned out to be the smartest. And, as I say, it changed the direction of my life in more than one way. I could still visit the t...

Taishun Street: January 2011
http://taishunstreet.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
A New Yorker in Taipei. Friday, January 7, 2011. If you have Richard Saunder's excellent "Yangmingshan: The Guide", this walk follows the "easier route" og the Pingdeng Li Old Water Channel trail in reverse, meeting the Waishuangxi Old Trail at the end of that hike's point 1 (i.e., near the rest station). Just keep in mind that the first right is not mentioned; Richard instead describes the hike going straight. Http:/ www.tonyhuang39.com/tony0483/tony0483.html. Time: 5 hours at a leisurely pace.

Taishun Street: The Undergrounding of Taiwan's Urban Railways
http://taishunstreet.blogspot.com/2011/10/undergrounding-of-taiwans-urban.html
A New Yorker in Taipei. Saturday, October 22, 2011. The Undergrounding of Taiwan's Urban Railways. Typically the benefits of burying train lines versus elevating them are considered to be the reduction of noise pollution and the increase in light reaching street level; Alon Levy discusses these complaints (and ways to mitigate them) here. Of course some will argue that the highway was necessary to relieve traffic. This is a fallacy however; Alon Levy's statistical analysis. October 23, 2011 at 2:24 AM.
Taishun Street: September 2012
http://taishunstreet.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
A New Yorker in Taipei. Monday, September 24, 2012. I've decided to start writing about mass transit and urban planning in Taiwan at dodging scooters.blogspot.com. For now I'll mostly post about bits of news that I notice and feel like commenting on, hopefully later- maybe half a year or so- I will write something more substantial. Taishun Street will be mostly on travels and life in Taiwan, though I haven't yet decided for sure what direction I want to take it in. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
Taishun Street: December 2011
http://taishunstreet.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
A New Yorker in Taipei. Thursday, December 1, 2011. How I learned to stop worrying and love MRT expansion. The United Daily News had a couple articles on the upcoming wave of MRT expansion. The first. Is pretty good, explaining how the new lines will take shape. The second article. Anyway, most of the complaints have to do being forced to transfer under the new system. For example:. Elderly people from Zhonghe complain that transferring will make getting to NTU Hospital difficult. To be fair there are so...
Taishun Street: Tsai Ing-wen Promises to Build Stuff

A New Yorker in Taipei. Tuesday, November 1, 2011. Tsai Ing-wen Promises to Build Stuff. No election campaign in any country is complete without ambitious promises to build stuff, and Tsai's is no exception. A few weeks ago Tsai proposed several transportation-related projects for Xinbei. The most ambitious. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Photos from the King of Qingshan Festival.

A New Yorker in Taipei. Wednesday, November 23, 2011. Photos from the King of Qingshan Festival. I've also added some photos from the 2009 festival. Small idols await the King of Qingshan's procession (taken in front of the King of Hell Temple). And a couple photos from '09, taken in front of Longshan Temple:. The bajiajiang (八家將) and 七爺八爺 (the tall god-puppets) in these pictures are all entering Longshan Temple to pay respects to Guanyin, the primary deity there. Also, Laorencha has photos (and a video!
Taishun Street: May 2011
http://taishunstreet.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
A New Yorker in Taipei. Sunday, May 15, 2011. Recently food policy seems to be a big issue in Taiwan, at least judging by how frequently the Taipei Times mentions it. A common assumption is that Taiwan should aim to be self-sufficient in food production. Michael Turton offers a more concrete reason. Than any Taipei Times article:. My question is: why so urgent? Why can we not let fields lie fallow until it is necessary to increase Taiwan's food supply again? Am I missing some facts, or using faulty logic?
Taishun Street: September 2011
http://taishunstreet.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A New Yorker in Taipei. Monday, September 26, 2011. One of the most (and few) annoying things about living in Taiwan is the lack of sidewalks. Even when a street does have sidewalks there often isn't enough space for the mass of pedestrians, and some people are forced to walk in the street. Even though this is pretty much the rule rather than the exception in Taiwan, for some reason it has garnered the attention of the press. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). King of Qingshan Festival.

A View from the Green Barn
Saturday, April 10, 2010. Ten Dollar Bathroom Sink. Ten Dollars can go a long way. My daughter Lesley and I were "barn saling. And we stumbled on a great sale where someone had literally cleaned out an old barn and wanted to get rid of a lot of stuff. I bought this black drop-leaf table for $10.00. Later, I got the sink from a nice family in East Lansing through the local Freecycle. Yahoo Group. If you don't know about Freecycle. The above photo was taken in the barn and NOT the bathroom! They are really...

A view from the High Ground
A view from the High Ground. I cant help but draw comparisons between the Katrina and the oil spill in the Gulf. Arianna Huffington helped me to put it into perspective. I am always amazed how quickly some people forget their own words. What I did was copy an article from the Huffington post. Http:/ www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/the-flyover-presidency-of b 6566.html. I then put her words in parenthesis and inserted mine in. See if this sounds like it is relevant today. Or (Hurricane Katrina ).

A View From The Hill(wigs). Wednesday, April 7, 2010. 5 Senses: Sense of Sight. I'm not sure which is more odd: that Gideon prefers. To wear glasses upside down or that he looks eerily like pictures of me from elementary school (sans pacifier, of course). After our usual preschool activities, we watched Sid the Science Kid's Super Fab Lab on the computer. Our own lab consisted of three parts: how glasses help some people see, how distance affects our vision, and using a magnifying glass. Jonas did an imp...

A View from the Hinterland
A View from the Hinterland. The moral, social, and political observations of a commentator living in the hinterland of rural South Georgia, far from the metropolis of Atlanta and even farther from the megatropolis of New York City. Friday, November 27, 2015. I’ve been thinking about politics. Specifically, I’ve been thinking about why some of y’all are so pigheaded. Now that I have your attention, let me say that what I’ve really been thinking about is why we’re so angry with each other. I once described...

A View From The Hook. Red Hook, Brooklyn. Saturday, September 27, 2014. German TV Covers Cruise Ship Pollution and Climate. On the Day 400,000 New Yorkers and many more around the world took to the streets in the "People's Climate March" demanding our leaders take urgent action to address climate change, the German TV show, "Weltspeigel" on the German public television channel ARD, was airing its story about cruise ship pollution. But, in all those announcements, barely a syllable about the maritime indu...
