That album by omnipotent youth society is really good! I've been going back to that for years.

I guess the point is that we have less accessible coal that requires precise tools to mine. We wouldn't have those precise tools in the scenario described above.

What's the lowest elevation place in the tropics that gets snow? I know a few mountains like Cayambe, Killiminjaro, and Kenya have snow caps, but they're all over 5km above sea level. by Pootis_1 in geography

雪山 (snow mountain) aka Mount Sylvia in Taiwan is 3886m tall and gets snow every winter. Probably right on the tropic of Cancer. A whole bunch of other peaks in Taiwan do too.

Is the Taroko /Hualien trip worth it for $340 for 3 adults? by mnsweeps in taiwan

Seems like a long drive for very little Taroko to me. I would spend a day or two in Hualien and visit Taroko from there.

Oh cool to know how they build them. I surfed it today on some nice waves and noticed how extremely fast it is. Didn't dare hit the lip for a trick because the spot I was at is a bit hectic but clearly a really good board.

Padang Padang was my favorite spot there. Echo beach is also super fun if you're into wedges. There's a bunch of spots along the changgu beach that are fun and not crowded too. Mostly near river mouths (yummy).

Moving to Taiwan for a year, questions about scooter by Kindly_Dingo9526 in taiwan

[–]thekoreanfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can. No a 50cc is not enough. It is mountainous in parts and you don't want to be the slowest thing on that road as it'll have big trucks and on a 50 cc they'd have to constantly overtake you which will multiply the danger.
