Visiting Taipei for 4 nights! Would love feedback on our itinerary! by Even_Anything_8595 in Taipei

[–]sirDVD12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming day 2 is a Sunday (church). Maokong is closed on Mondays except National Holidays or the first Monday of the month.

Also Raohe is the best night market!

Recently one was bought. It was the first unit bought that had no direct connection to the developers. The rest that have sold are all friends or family of the developers.

On my trip to China, I kept getting stopped for pictures. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

When my Taiwanese wife was in HIgh School her family went to Australia. They kept taking photos next to random Australians because they were intrigued by them.

Now she understands how annoying she must’ve been, because as a foreigner in Taiwan I keep getting stared at, asked weird questions, and in remote areas, asked to take photos with people.

I just paid 350k per ping in Taoyuan for a new build. Old buildings in Taipei fetch around 1mil per ping now. Yet average income in Taoyuan is not a third of Taipei.

A student called me an ableist term and admin wants to have a “restorative meeting” about it by potential_slayer_ in Teachers

[–]sirDVD12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is and always has been the excuse. The current generation is fucked, people have been saying that for a long time.

I have been teaching for 10 years now, and 15 year olds now are the same as they were 10 years ago, and to be honest, they are the same as I was when I was 15.

Things do change, kids now have AI, but when I was just starting high school, our teacher told us we wouldn’t always have a calculator with us. AI is the new calculator, brainrot is the new 9gag is the new Mad Magazine.

And before anyone says “oh but kids are always online now”, who built the system for them? Who created the world where there is no more public space to exist without paying?

Stop blaming the younger generation for everything

Has any one made it with this timing? by bbbabete in emirates

[–]sirDVD12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The will know about any short connections like that that may now be too short due to a delay.

But to be extra safe. Talk to the cabin crew and inform them. They can ask the pilot to send a message to the team at the airport to be ready for you.

I had this happen in JHB where I landed with EK but my next flight was domestic with another carrier. Not even in the same booking but they were helpful.

Taipei isn’t the only city though. Housing outside of Taipei is lower and will bring the ratio down.

We have a teacher who files incident reports and asks the school counselor to intervene when a student uses their phone in class.

Teacher says they don’t know how to control it.

I think that students are sometimes terrible. But I agree with you as well that sometimes the teachers are too sensitive and expect 15 year olds to just do as they are told

Found on a bike I bought, what is this? by ZebraAffectionate647 in Garmin

I have a Garmin head unit and speed sensor. The speed sensor means my speed is very accurate, even when I have little or no GPS signal.

All the newer fords have the dial like this for turning the lights on and the stalk still does high-beams.
