Where can I recycle my cellphone charger? A few weeks ago it stopped charging and now it is expanding. I put it in a plastic bag because it looks like it’s going to burst. 💥

Deleted the old photoblog today after not updating in four years. Fun while it lasted! I hope nobody buys the domain name and uses it for something weird.

Yikes! Look at this gymnasium roof collapse after a 6.9 magnitude earthquake on Sunday in Taiwan! Incredibly, nobody was hurt. Four people trapped in a collapsed building have also been rescued safely. We've had more than 50 quakes since a 6.4 quake in Taiwan Saturday.

A 6.8 magnitude earthquake rocked eastern Taiwan on Sunday, leaving at least one person dead. Several people were injured after buildings and a bridge collapsed in Hualien County. It follows a 6.4 magnitude tremblor in the same location the night before.

This is where the Eurasian Plate meets the Philippines Sea Plate, both of which bring dozens of earthquakes each year to this region. The monument sits on a bicycle lane converted from a railway bridge not far away from Yuli, where the collapsed building is located.

Two post offices and over one and a half hours later I have successfully sent three packages. Big thumbs down to the Nangang Industrial Area Post Office for not having the magic QR scan/printer for sending parcels overseas.

I saw an older gentleman calmly remove this from his pocket and place it on the counter. I did not know this was a phone case at first! 😬😬😬

FYI! According to the article, the fun police limits us to 25 kg of fireworks. Better take my extra to the Maoluo River floodplain.

End of the school year and all teachers received a scratch-off lottery ticket and… a KNIFE! Can’t imagine a school doing this in America.

Working at a private high school in TW: Admin: You can give a student under an 80 but they'll redo work until they get above 80 so you might as well give them 80. Working at a public high school in TW: Me: Some students didn't turn in their final. Admin: That's their fault.

Sky lanterns aren't as beautiful as they seem. Those not totally finished lanterns caused fires and burnt down houses. The debris fallen in the deep mountains are difficult to retrieve. Many victims are still waiting for compensations. taiwanhikes.com/blog-posts/pin…

Typically scene in Nantou City: a car parked on the crosswalk and a motorist can’t even be bothered to slow down when I’m halfway across.
