Today was one of those days that my “McDonald’s urge” hit me and thus I found myself buying a number 4 meal, and, for lack of a China Post, sitting alone looking at a cutout of Ronald. It then dawned on me the scary possibility that Ronald represents my (our) place in Taiwanese society.
Think about [...]

I had the pleasure of taking two vacationers out for the day today. They wanted to see the country, so we hopped in the car and cruised to a place in Tainan County called the 曾文水庫 Tseng (Zun) Wen Reservoir.
Joe and Jason

are from Texas and Maryland, and it is their first [...]

It’s been a busy month, and I’ve got photos from the Taiwan Lantern Festival - 台灣燈會 2008 in Tainan County （It was held at a place called Solar City in the Southern Taiwan Science Park). I have to say, it was a really cool event. There were so many lanterns and things to [...]

The Dai Tian temple in Madou (麻豆代天府) is a very cool temple. What separates it from the many other temples in Taiwan are two things:
First, there is a large dome in the parking lot that houses a magnificent giant Buddha statue.

The other is the heaven and hell indoor walking tour that is [...]

The Fireworks festival in Yan Shui (鹽水蜂炮)was a blast! We had a lot of fun jumping around and trying not to get hit too hard by the thousands of rockets that screamed at us. What is the Yan Shui Fireworks Festival you may ask. Here is some information about it:
It is said [...]

Here is a short video clip of my friends eating betelnuts while taking a break from the Yan Shui fireworks festival. Too bad there weren’t any betelnut girls there. The owner did show us a picture of the event from years past that had an apparition of a god show up within the [...]

Last night was another great fireworks event in Tainan County, Taiwan. I will post more pics and videos as soon as I get everything sorted. This event was at the huge Lu Er Men temple and there were thousands of people there. They would roll out a huge cart of fireworks, most [...]

The Yan Shui feng pao (pao pao) 2008 Fireworks Festival began last night. In what could be deemed as a ‘locals ceremony’, we followed the gods through the streets of Yan Shui. Tonight is the night where droves of tourists will converge on Yan Shui and experience the full beehive fireworks experience. [...]

Spas are popular places in Taiwan. This video shows the inside of one with a few cute Taiwanese girls in the water. Some spas have all different kinds of water massage jets and pools, as well as possibly weights, play areas for kids, and saunas.

It has come to my attention that the girls [...]

Here are some videos from the (2008) New Years eve fireworks spectacular coming from the tallest building in the world, Taipei 101 in Taiwan.
# 1) An extremely amateur video of the event. Tilt your head sideways for maximum viewing satisfaction.

A better version:

Here is an older news clip of last years event comparing it with [...]

In what is seemingly has become the norm, there are temple celebrations on a very regular basis here in Tainan. Fili goes into this a bit on his blog post Another weekend in Tainan : Another God has a birthday. It is impossible not to notice these events unless you never step [...]

Here is the latest and last video we have have of this particular public pole dancing sex show in Taiwan. You can watch the video which is a short clip and some photos from that evening. You can also check out the soft core sex show slideshow here. Check out the previous [...]

This is the post all of you perverts have been waiting for. For a little background, I was going to a local pub one night and it was insane in the area near the pub. Fireworks blasting every 5 seconds, and loads of people behind the pub in what appeared to be a [...]

Here is a video I shot last night of a pole dancer at a local cultural event dedicated to appeasing the ghosts that roam the earth. I will post photos of this a bit later, and another short raunchy video of the girl on top of a guy in his underwear grinding away. [...]

Last weekend I do what I normally do. I jump into the car and start driving. I’m not so sure where I am going to end up, but so far, I have always found something interesting. So, my final destination was Lover’s Wharf in Kaohsiung. A bit of an odd name for [...]
