The bumper issue 7 of Taiwanease is out now - 25% bigger than before! Look left and you can see the front cover in my avatar.
[quote=“Taffy, in Taiwanease,”]In this issue we welcome back Linda Arrigo, with her account of a trip to Green Island with former political prisoners from the White Terror period. Andrew Bullen also returns, interviewing one of the last members of an age that will soon fade out of living memory. National Health Insurance is the focus of Nathan Haslewood’s article this issue, particularly the factors that have driven the scheme to the edge of bankruptcy.
TC Lin continues his run of humorous takes on life and stuff, with a proposal to rename China Airlines and a man known for making things disappear. Also out to make you smile is new signing and travelled comedian Hartley Pool, presenting the horror of teaching his wife to drive in a bite-sized chunk for your amusement. Joanne Chang has another great day out for families and Joe Schmoe bemoans the sweaty palms induced by the haughty disdain and discretionary power of visa officials in Hong Kong.
The usual features are also here, including Taiwan’s most comprehensive classified advertising, Taiwanted. There’s advice on the legalities of work for foreigners, plus Two Weeks (our events guide) and a look at forthcoming films about to hit the cinemas here.[/quote]
