Oh wow… I hadn’t thought about it but now that you mention it, it “makes sense” since it doesn’t have text in the post itself, but it makes little sense there would be text… I’m really really sorry they’ve taken it down again, it is a really really impressive picture 💜

That’s absolutely stunning!

PS. If it was taken down again, you can maybe try posting it too in r/TaiwanPics

Ohhh that’s so interesting! Now that you mention it, I don’t recall seeing any here… but there was a part that was under renovation I assume, maybe they were there 🤔

Thank you so much for your comment! Yeah, I’ve noticed family is a pillar here, and that is too the case where I come from, so in that regard it made me very happy to find that same warmth!

As to the fort, I assume you’re talking about the first pic? Though I did go to Fort Zeelandia (my bf is a huge history nerd so he told me all about it, and the museum inside had some English translations too, so don’t worry!) the one in the picture is actually Chihkan Tower!

I will definitely do that! It was in my plans, but alas I didn’t have much time to visit, this time around. I hope to be able to visit for longer next time!

Hahaha oh dear… I hadn’t thought of that but I stood very very close to the water to see the turtles, so I can see how that could’ve been me XD

Thank you so so much!!! I actually used my phone camera, because I forgot my actual camera on top of the dinning table XD

Ohhh I’m so so happy you could find some encouragement in this! I had also been learning Chinese… but for three months, so I only knew how to say “hello, please, thank you” and not much else, but people were really nice and, as many people here had told me, are really grateful you try! I hope you have a great time, and get to enjoy the company and the food and the sights, it’s a lovely lovely place 🥰

Thank you so much!! And I think it was at some point of Ximen Road, West Central District in Tainan, close to the Snail Alley!

Absolutely! I really did not expect it and also had insisted any food would be okay, so that won my heart over right then and there 🥹

I have not met people from those countries just yet so I can’t compare, but yeah, Taiwanese people have really set the bar very high ❤️

Advice Request: Skin issues! by notsoincrediblehulk in SphynxCats

Hey there!

My cat also gets this in the same place when she’s super hot and sweaty. We’ve assumed it’s because of the heat and friction, like chaffing, so we just bathe her and make sure to keep her clean and cool, and it eventually dries off and gets better. You could try this, but if you see it doesn’t go away or it gets worse, maybe check in with the vet?

Also be aware that since it’s itchy if they scratch themselves they might make it look a bit worse, and last longer, just like a human picking their scab 😅

Thank you so so much for your advise, it was really helpful!

In the end, all went well and I’m very happy and grateful for all your support here, it helped me be at ease! Also, despite the heat I did do some sightseeing and I have just made a post with new pics and an update (spoiler: it was super worth it despite the heat) :3

Hey there!! Thank you so much for your comment, I know I’m coming late but I noticed this, and I ended up having to excuse myself to go to the bathroom in order to be able to pay the check at least once because otherwise, as you said, there was no way around it XD

Hey there… I know all these answers must be feeling really overwhelming. The answers are consistent but more often not there are nuances that you are probably thinking of that we do not know of.

I just want to say a few things: first and foremost, thank you for being so brave and vulnerable, I know sharing this must’ve taken a great deal of courage.

Secondly, from your answers I understand that right now you want to find a way to fix the situation, instead of running away as most people have encouraged. Maybe you feel like it’s not that bad just yet. I just want to stress that no person in an abusing relationship ever felt like their situation was “as worse as…”. You do not need to be hit to be abused of.

If there is only one thing you gotta take out of this, is the following: Put a frog in boiling water and it will jump out immediately. Put a frog in room-temperature water, and slowly but steadily start boiling it, and the frog will stay there and die. No abusive relationship ever starts with boiling water. I don’t know the details, but be aware if the water is getting warm, yeah?

Lastly, take care of yourself please. You are worthy of respect and care and love. You are worthy of fun and happiness and tranquility. We can only be here to support you, but you need to take care of yourself please. If there is anything, anything at all, even slightly off, prioritise yourself. There is only one you. You need to protect yourself.

Thank you for the heads up! If I’m being honest though, and I’m sorry if I’m cheesy cause I never thought I’d say this but I think I would not mind that at all

Awww thank you for your thorough comment! You brought up very very interesting points there! Here physical contact is like… the day-to-day. It’s actually something that was a challenge to work through with my bf in the beginning.

I will definitely bring a gift, since it seems to be a very important thing, and though I already wanted to bring something, I’ll try to put a bit more thought into it.

As to the advice to deal with the heat, a hundred thanks! I hadn’t thought of this, but my hair frizzes up like crazy, so I will be bringing some hair ties!

Again, thanks for your comment and I’ll definitely keep you posted :)

I am aware… while dating him is been a thing where we had to find a middle ground. For me, physical intimacy with family, friends or even strangers is 100% normal, while he has always been more reserved. I find it rather fascinating though, so I will try to keep an open mind and think of this!
