An American Enjoys Life on the Fair Island of Taiwan. Archive for December, 2009. On December 7, 2009 3 Comments. Last Year in Hong Kong:. About a year ago, I had an epiphany. Over the 2009 Chinese New Year, I joined a couple of full-time Hong Kong University students at this great hookah bar in Hong Kong named, Sahara.

An American Enjoys Life on the Fair Island of Taiwan. Laquo; A Brief Introduction to Taipei and Taiwan. A belated post…. A Little Moment of Levity. October 14, 2009 by Cal Bel. Here’s an example of the greatest Chinglish. EVER I think of it as an ode to my new rice cooker to the right. Have I succumbed to the Taiwanese penchant for all things cute and cuddly? Not quite yet, but it’s hard to avoid when rice cookers even come with flying tweety birds. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.
