Only learned recently that these paper coffee drip things aren’t common in the U.S./Europe! ☕️

What is the difference between Hokkien, Minnan and Taiwanese? There is often some confusion and controversy about this. Simply put: Minnan 閩南 is an overarching category that comprises Hokkien, Teochew (, and Hainanese, but there is no consensus about its inclusion). 1/

I've interviewed several people who got laid off recently.

One thought seems to emerge in all of them:
- 'I'll never again join a company that self-describes as a family!!'

Some reports are sobering:

Twin A’s class has 3 cases of enterovirus and per Taiwan’s govt mandate, his class is now cancelled for a week… 🫠

Been so many earthquakes in Taiwan over the last 24 hours, I feel like I live on a boat. 🫠

You can now subscribe to FSD (Supervised) for $99/month in the US

Seeing doctors in Taiwan can be so convenient. Caught a nasty cold from the kids and have had a relentless cough. Went to an ENT clinic. 🤧
