Taiwan Living in Taiwan

This thread is open to anyone …

I would like to start this thread separate from the daily pics thread simply because some people might be intimidated by the images shown there … mobile phone pics don’t need to be high quality but try to make original, fun, special, daily life pics … so that people worldwide can get a feeling of the ordinary Taiwan …

BTW, I got a used hand-me-down Nokia with camera …

Here’s a start …

A butcher at the local night market, sharpening his knife, ready to cut me up as he doesn’t like to have his picture taken … I just did it sneaky anyways …

Greasy oil dumplings … I always was disgusted by the way they are prepared … boiled, not fried in oil and they are dripping with oil as they get cut up … they are meat filled …

Busy wet market in Sanxia …and it was wet (raining) …
The good thing about a mobile phone is that it’s fast to make pics … I wouldn’t take out my dslr in rainy weather …

Good pics SM … I suppose the bread tasted good … BTW, I never heard about the Carnegies curry feast …

Here’s a pic of our new Datung (road) bridge in Sanxia, it just openen a few months ago … it’s easier to get around now …

Love this thread!!! Very nice. Some real everyday culture. The other photo thread is awsome, but the artists have it, ya know? This stuff looks more like my life in Taiwan really felt.

Those are great shots for cell phones (though BP, I still miss your other shots). sandman, does your wife sell that bread? Because I would certainly buy some.

Great pics and that bread is to die for. And here I am in bloody HK and I don’t get bread that good. WTF? Talk about a rough trade.

Any chance of getting the recipes? (Seriously.) Those loaves look delicious.

July 2014 - Absolutely hysterical, this photo is now on the Snopes.com website! snopes.com/photos/food/bonelesspork.asp

I certainly never imagined my fame and fortune would thus appear, haha.

This stupid heavy rain woke me up lats night (3:00AM) and with semi opened eyes and a brain in zero mode I made this pic of the street … had to climb in my bathtub to make it …

The ongoing work at Jing’an MRT station, which will be a junction station on the Zhonghe (Orange) and Circle (Yellow) Lines, plus (yet another) fancy shopping mall in to the bargain. Taken from my scooter while stopped at a red light.

I also tried to take a crafty pic of a stupendous gangster mullet I saw while checking in at the airport yesterday, but unfortunately it didn’t come out.

P.S. Yes, that is a gorgeous blue sky in Zhonghe. What? Don’t look so shocked.

Teacher: “Suzy, what does your daddy do?”
Suzy: “He sticks his finger up the bum of dead pigs and turns them inside out.”

My colleague wondered what I was laughing so loudly at just now, when I came to the photo of the boneless pork rectums. I started to explain to him – you know, Taiwanese food – then I saw they’re a product of the US. Ooops. :s
