There is still a lot of poverty in Taiwan, especially in the south. Cheap for me and you may not be cheap for a single parent of two on a NT$25,000 a month salary.

I’m sure this has been brought up, but having to hail a public bus like it’s a cab is wack as fuck. It’s especially dumb when there’s like 90 people crammed at the bus stop and people are frantically waving their hands in the air.

Something different about some car roof top strippers dancers.

So why do bus drivers in NYC stop?
No idea, you need to ask someone that lives in NYC.
What’s with those cold uncooked hot dogs at 711? The regular ones are fine but now they’ve added this pale looking one with the sandwiches already on a bun. Anyone dared to try it yet?

But was it “juicy”?

I just can’t get over the color. It looks raw. And why not just get the ones on the rollers?
