This is the latest segment of the N***** King story. According to Poagao some westerners saw the sign, alerted authorities, who in turn alerted the owner to the meaning of the store name. The owner then changed it to this… Hmmmm…..
Oddly similar to the original don’t ya think?! [...]

Here is a video showing some Taiwanese guys making Snoop Dogg proud and Crip walking in a Taiwanese disco. The title of the video is: 407homie c walk ride with us.

This is old news by now, but I have seen some good write ups about the Taiwanese China airlines plane that burned in Okinawa Japan. First, from B@tTaiwan, a few pictures of a headline from MSN that originally titles the story as China airliner on fire at Japan airport to Taiwanese airliner on fire [...]

Taiwan Beer

Originally uploaded by toyohara

Yeah so here’s another typical site around Taiwan… People chowin’ down, eating things that improve a man’s “power”. Oh, what’s this? This must be a really classy event because even the Taiwan Beer Girls are on site! Taiwan beer girls’ [...]

According to this article in the Taipei Times, Taiwan is behind in English proficiency. If that is news to any of you teachers out there, shoot yourself. One of the themes that draws together people from many nations in Taiwan is shop talk. I have heard personally from many gifted teachers and [...]

This is the latest shirt design ready to hit the press. We’re going to change the red “com” to a Chinese character but we can’t decide which one we should use.
Got any ideas? I’ll tell you what, if we choose your idea for a char., we’ll give you a free shirt. Hao bu hao?

I have been thinking about Taiwanese politics more and more the last several weeks. I haven’t come to many conclusions, although I am convinced Taiwan is an island with 23 million or so people on it. With all of the political bickering internally, and the added pressure of bombs pointed at us internationally, [...]

This post covers two subjects at once. Everyone in Taiwan knows how infectious the jingle for the soft drink CC Lemon has become. If you are anywhere in the country it’s likely if you start off the CC, anyone nearby will finish with the lemon.]
CC Lemon is a Japanese soft drink, basically a [...]

The name of this video is Taiwan Hot Girl. It is something that can be seen on standard cable TV here. I personally haven’t watched TV here in a while, but I do remember them showing some seriously ridiculous stuff… Like parts of porns where you only see the woman making “faces” [...]

Here is a surf video made during Typhoon Ewiniar, July 7th, 2006 at Wu Shi, Taiwan. I’ll bet there are some rocking waves rocking right now. It isn’t even raining in Tainan though, but the news is showing Typhoon Sepat kicking Taiwan’s ass.

Cheers to Isla Formosa for the heads up on this.
It’s also kind of funny that the bands initials are LP. Hahah. That is an inside joke for anyone that was here a few years ago.
It’s nice that some big bands actually come to Taiwan. There haven’t been as many big [...]

Typhoon Sepat is coming, likely to extend our gray and gloom another couple of days. It has been at least 10 days of solid rainfall here in Taiwan already. The whole island has been bombarded with rain, dare I say of biblical proportions? Several of the thunderstorms mixed between the two typhoons [...]

A video from Adam Sinnins:
A collage of images collected on the streets of Tainan City, mostly one night and one day. This collage offers a glimpse of what goes on in the streets and parks of Tainan City.

I saw this and thought it was just awesome. Here more about Jump Taipei from Myspace:
What is Jump Taipei?
We are a collective of individuals who train in the art of parkour and freerunning. Some people skateboard. Some people ride BMX. We jump over stuff. Using efficient movements and disciplining our bodies and our minds [...]
