So is Taiwan a Developed country or not?

I think TSMC is partially owned by Philips.

15 years ago Taiwan still had open sewers.

Who cares about baseball stadiums?

Obviously, nc47 cares.

Most countries have ‘developed’, ‘developing’ and backward areas.

It still does in many places actually. You can see the open channels everywhere.
A lot of the rivers/channels still stink as the sewer effluent drains into them.
Yes there is more sewer coverage now but the rivers still seem be full of shit.
On this point Taiwan falls far below ‘developed’ status.

Taiwan is a charming backwater. Developed? Sure, in parts. People in Singapore think Taiwan is a 3rd World hellhole. I prefer Taiwan to Singapore because of its authenticity. 1st world bank accounts, 3rd world infrastructure in the majority of the country (not central Taipei of course).

I thought this thread was a chance for everyone to get their wishlist in? W

Blimey! How far back did you go to say “No” to that post?

I’d like more blow jobs. Hopefully that’s developing.

Nope. Ermintrude. She won’t be reading any of this.

I haven’t checked, but I’m guessing that post was a decade ago.

Sat TV and Snadman also featured in it.

How I miss them. :smirk:

Sandman and Presley were massive losses.

To be fair to SatTV, I appreciate that he was difficult to get along with but he did add a different angle to discussions.
