A free exhibition aimed at teaching the public about air-raid shelters and basic emergency self-protection skills opened Wednesday at the concourse level of Taipei’s MRT Ximen Station.
The exhibition outlines recommended actions for people indoors, commuting or outdoors when air raid sirens sound.
It also teaches visitors how to equip air-raid shelters and pack “bug-out bags,” with displays of recommended essential items.

You know, in early 2000, election night, we were all so worked up with people in our school saying China would attack and on top of that our diplomatic representatives having made themselves scarce, that a dozen of us huddled in front of the tv in the home of the only one among us who had one, clutching our backpacks with money and passports, some even with airline tickets to GTFO. 
Before the meeting of panicked atogas, I went out to take pictures of 711. Of all the things I would miss from Taiwan, the 711 held the most cherished place.

What’s your question? A lot is going on. As always

People in Taiwanese warning signs are always so happy, no matter what is happening to them. Grabbing their disaster bag, getting stuck in an elevator, having construction objects fall on their head – they take it all in stride

Of all things and opinions. One very serious issue is in taiwan people have very serious anxiety mental health issues. Super easy to spur a panic. As a company, anyone can make huge money on this. many do. Many brag about this fact, basically cheating people that are either mentally ill or poorly educated. That’s why religion/cult type structures run rampant. Truly basic sales on health related sales run rampant. Radio, TV, social media, SMS, phone calls, private loans whilst real loans being hard now. Fraud is flourishing. Crime is rampant. It’s completely counter productive though. Thus, sad.

Good brand, I always grab a couple bags for my camping stash, when I see them. Not in Taiwan, I haven’t seen any meals like this in the camping shops in Kaohsiung
I don’t like most Mountain House freeze dried products. Tastes cheap to me. My theory is they use lower quality food to keep costs down.
I prefer food I freeze dry myself using a freeze dryer in my workshop as I use only top quality food:

Tastes good for commercial freeze dried food, way better than the average meal in Taiwan. Must be nice to have your own drier, but for me not practical!
My goal is to build up a month’s supply of food for a family of four in Taiwan, then ship my machine to Japan and build up a year’s supply there. Tray space is 4.8 sq ft. which is about 40-50 servings of whatever fruit/vegetable/fish/meat I’m freeze drying. Each run costs $2.50 US in electricity. Machine cost $2,700 US.
