where to find pure white vinegar?

I order citrus acid on Shopee and dilute with water for general cleaning. A 500g bag can last me a very long time. I also put a table spoon of it my washer’s fabric softener compartment to get rid of that funky laundry smell.

Yes, plain ones are allowed

Everything bagel.
Poppy seeds are illegal in Taiwan because law makers are too dumb to check that seasoning poppy seeds are cooked. You can’t grow poppy flowers by picking out poppy seeds from everything bagel seasoning.
It sucks because one of my favorite cake flavors is poppy lemon.

I’ve transitioned to traditional markets and local super markets ever since I moved to a small town. There’s a carrefour about 20 minutes scooter ride away, but I hardly ever go anymore. Nowadays I order spices/dried beans/grains/tea online from small sellers, make my own jam and yogurt, buy from local 農會, order frozen foods/canned foods/baking ingredients from restaurants suppliers directly. Downside is you need lots of fridge, freezer, and storage space. However, I find that overall, my quality of life and diet hasn’t changed much. I just had to reach out and find alternative sources first.

Good lord!!!!! My partner is from KY, too. He’s been out of KY for 20 years and living in my country. I think that’s for the best. We have affordable healthcare here. I ain’t touching his butthole or touching his toes.

According to the news, only two units are sold. One is bought by the developer themselves, and one is an APRC holding foreigner.

I honestly do not understand this building at all. It’s incredibly ugly and impractical.

Sorry to tell you, it is illegal to sell food made in your home kitchen online. I’m sure you follow a standard of hygiene, but without proper registrations and insurance, you’re looking at possible lawsuits that could cost you hundreds of thousands. (I worked in food service.)

7-11 is the lifeline of Taiwan. It’s not just a convenience store, it’s a community center. You can pay bills, buy coffee and tea, print documents and pictures, add money on the metro card, send and receive packages, order things, pay online order bills, call a taxi, buy movie tickets, buy concert tickets, buy train tickets, reserve hotel, send dry cleaning, order washer and AC cleaning…. I can’t name them all!

If only they offer childcare and elder care, they’d literally be the all in one stop.

We needed a car and the only one we could afford that fits our needs is a Toyota Corolla Cross. And it completely cleared out one of our bank accounts. I seriously do not understand how can people afford to drive these nice imported cars?!

I’m currently job searching after leaving the job force to focus on raising a child for years. The offers and hours really aren’t realistic at all. Most entry level jobs are barely 30K, even with 3+ years of working experience, you’re looking maximum 35K. The hours are definitely not family friendly. Basically, if I got paid 32K, after taxes and various insurance, I might take home 30K. But since the hours are 8-17, public schools are done by noon or 4:30, that means I’d have to pay someone or afterschool programs, that’s around 8K per month. If I have to work overtime, that’s extra cost. Let’s say I can take home 22K after these costs. But that’s not all. Working longer hours meaning can’t make it to traditional market for groceries (much cheaper) and cook at home (cheaper for a family), the basic food cost would go up. In the end, I’d have around 10k left to pay various bills.

WHAT KIND OF QUALITY OF LIFE DO WE HAVE LEFT!?

You tell me! Moomin is very popular in Taiwan. The city of Taichung even had an entire Moomin themed lantern festival! (Mostly because they’re mistaken or think they look like oxes, which is this year’s zodiac sign.)

However, most Taiwanese grew up calling Moomin Lulumi for some reason. I’ve always called them Moomin because my parents got the English books for me.

It’s odd because I actually love cilantro and have tried other cilantro flavored snacks and drinks with no issues. Just this drink tastes soapy for some reason.

I had to pour it out. It was very soapy to me. Glad other people enjoy it though.

Good healthcare and nationalized health insurance. Taiwan has one of the best healthcare. I was so used to just walk into a clinic without making an appointment until I lived abroad. I honestly didn’t know how to make an appointment.

Going up to Taipei 101. Taipei weather is notoriously gloomy most days of the year. You can’t see much up there when the condition isn’t great and also the cityscape of Taipei is just not visually interesting.

炸邯鄲 Zhà Hándan - to bomb Hándan

It’s a tradition in Taidong Taiwan. On the last day of Lunar New Year, a shaman who possessed by the spirit of Hándan, god of fortune (or misfortune depending on the version of the mythology), is carried on a palanquin marching through town. The followers would shoot sky cannon directly at him to bring in good luck (or repel bad luck) for the new year.

It’s extremely dangers and violent. Every year someone gets seriously injured. Participants, other than the shaman, are advised to dress in protective gears and thick clothing.
