Speaking of Tsai Ing Wen, she did an exclusive interview with CNN about “aggressive Beijing.”
I don’t get involved in the politics forums, but if somebody wants to start a thread over there about it, have at it. Or if the mods know a better place to move this post, @tempogain ?

You shouldn´t have the monitor that close to your face, it is bad for your eyes. To prevent this, keep monitor at double arm´s length and higher than 20 cm.

Double arm’s length would put me in the next cubicle.
And there’s a little intern girl there already who wouldn’t appreciate the company much, I’m sure.

Arm and a half? Just a bit more than arm´s lenght is OK.
Whoever invented the cubicle system should be sent to a hell just above the other idjit who came up with open working space.
Where do you think they got the cubicle system from

1.The advertised highlight of the National Lantern Festival is a 16 meter bluefin tuna lantern.
2.It’s not a pig in the year of the pig. If I was born in the year of the pig, I would be severely saddened especially if I was a child.

Looks even better at night, with many colored lights.

They helped make it with seashells and the iron frane was made by a famous artist. It allegedly represnts women who are 95% of the immigrants to Pingtung.

Are you really using that ignorant outdated term?
The bare hooters represent the fertility of foreign brides?

I don’t want to assume any genders here, but that crowd looks overwhelmingly female. (talking about the brides, not the bugs).
