When we found Leela up in the mountains of Yonghe Reservoir in Miaoli, she unfortunately came complete with an infestation of worms. Not being familiar with dogs and worms, we took Leela to the vet and he ended up giving us two bags of medication. When we got home, I had a look at one of [...]
Got a nice surprise this morning when I saw that Juice Media’s Rap News just had a new episode released over night.
When I’m out on the bicycle, I usually don’t really care what my hair looks like. Either I’ll be heading down to the shops, cruising along the river on a leisurely ride or riding somewhere for an article. My bicycle helmet isn’t heavy enough to cause any permanent deformity to my hair so when I [...]
Taiwan is a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some people it’s home, for others it’s China… without the crazy China’ness, a great place to learn Mandarin, a land of cheap delicious foods, a relaxing lifestyle, a place to retire, the last line of defence against China’s aggressive territorial expansion, [...]

In a nutshell it lets me put things like my reader subscriptions, mail and weather forecasts set as my default homepage everytime I load up my browser. Sometime in the last [...]
Over the years I’ve had various run ins with ants. Usually a symptom of the remains of one too many late night snacks being left out, the ants tend to invade sometime during the morning and in some cases, have gone to extraordinary lengths to find whatever remains have left out. In my current apartment, [...]
With Australia being so close to Easiyo’s home of New Zealand, I didn’t have to think too hard when it came to purchasing yogurt base sachets in bulk from Big W. By buying the triple plain yogurt pack (3 litres of Easiyo yogurt) that came in a box for $7 or so, I was still [...]
My blog publishing schedule has kinda gone out the door this week with the arrival of an unexpected furry rescue. My girlfriend recently got a Pinnacle Expede 1.0 cyclocross bike (more on that later), and along with my Long Haul Trucker we’ve been tackling mountain trails around Taiwan with the hope of completing a tour around [...]
