There are some really great English language Taiwan blogs out there, and almost every week I discover another one that’s worth keeping track of. With 2010 almost in, I thought I’ll do a special 2009 summary tribute of the top of Taiwan’s expat blogosphere.
Note : I urge my fellow Taiwan bloggers to do the same. [...]
Social network maps do a great job of giving you information you usually don’t come across which summarizes big stories into easily interpretable graphs. Having being part of Facebook for quite some time now, I think it’s been long enough for me to find and connect to the majority of those who I know or [...]

They put up an English website, prepared English flyers and all, but it’s not quite there yet. It would still take a while for Tainan to be [...]
Taiwan’s Tourism Bureau has recently announced "The Best Trip in the World" contest hoping for reaction similar to Australia’s “Best Job in the World". Seeing the still weak international interest in Kaohsiung’s World Games 2009 I have some doubts on how popular this would be, but any big project to attract more visitors to [...]
