I love this stuff, I really do. This is one of the most magical things I’ve seen here lately.
I was always so jealous of the northern folks for attending the NTU Cosplay event that I swore to myself that next event I’ll even head up to Taipei to see it. Luckily enough, I found out [...]

Two weeks ago I finally discovered the number one sales pitch for studying in Tainan-Taiwan. NCKU is among Taiwan’s top 3 schools and all that, but why would anyone come to study International Business here?

It’s a good goal for the Taiwanese universities to pursue, something on the grounds of - how did some professor put it - business schools ISO.

First time I didn’t think much of it, but now I think there’s something going on.
Yes, I sometimes eat at McDonalds. Yes, I made a special effort not to eat at McDonalds before I came to Taiwan. It was a long process of becoming friendlier with this evil fast food chain and now I [...]
