Earlier today, I was presented with another interesting interview concerning the virus and our response to the same. This one: It came to my attention with the claim that it has been banned by Youtube and removed to prevent it being widely viewed and shared. Subsequently, it was re-instated, but I felt complelled to watchContinue reading “Fear”

Face(palm)
I know I have already mentioned one common practice here: namely, the riding of one’s scooter to take the rubbish to the dustbin lorry. A distance of 400 metres at most. Let me describe this evening’s entertainment. I use this term loosely. You (well, I) have to laugh, really. I could just as easily haveContinue reading “Face(palm)”
On The Road
On of my favoutite books. Jack Kerouac. Well worth a read. Trust me. Meanwhile, if you have a few minutes to spare, you might find these interesting. I have a camera rolling in the car, front and rear facing. Here is a selection of yesterday’s journeys, covering the early school run and a later excursionContinue reading “On The Road”
可憐的中文 好建議 – Poor Chinese language. Good advice
If you have 10 minutes to spare, take a look at this. I think they are all collisions in Taiwan, except for one, which appears to be in the UK (which is appropriate, since I’m not suggesting this is an exclusively Taiwanese problem). If you live in Taiwan, you can hardly have failed to seeContinue reading “可憐的中文 好建議 – Poor Chinese language. Good advice”
Rubbish
Where we live, and indeed where we used to live, the dustbin lorry comes four times each week, accompanied by the recycling lorry on two of those days. Pretty amazing, really, if you are used to once per fortnight, as is the case in the UK. All over the island of Taiwan, these very sameContinue reading “Rubbish”
A Backwards Step
I spend quite a lot of my time waiting. Waiting for: – children to brush their teeth, finish their homework, go to a skating class, play on the swings and slides in the park. You know, all the dad/offspring type stuff;– Mrs T to come home from work, come to bed, install an exhibition, visitContinue reading “A Backwards Step”
Speaking of school days…
I quite enjoy mixing this up, so that like Mr Gump’s box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get (next). [Actually, that was a daft simile wasn’t it? All boxes of chocolates I’ve ever seen come with a sheet to tell you what each one is… but let’s let that one slide,Continue reading “Speaking of school days…”
Every day is a school day
When I first moved to Taiwan, I found it rather challenging. Not the food, not the weather, not even the pollution (although that remains a major concern). No, what what most difficult was learning to live in a foreign land in which everyday behaviour is very different in many ways. My initial feeling was thatContinue reading “Every day is a school day”
In Passing
I’m looking for thoughts, again. Here’s a road. It could be any road, but I have selected this one as I know it pretty well. In case you are hard of seeing, let me explain. It is long. It is straight. It is devoid of vehicles. Perfect for cycling, or so you’d think. Here’s aContinue reading “In Passing”
