I was sitting there at my desk lost in my own writer’s world and furiously typing away, when the front door burst open. ‘OMG LOOK WHAT I HAVE!’ My girlfriend slammed down what appeared to be an A3 cardboard design of some sorts and I looked down at it, slightly confused. ‘So uh… what’s that?’ [...]

If you’re out and about during Chinese New Year in Taiwan, chances are you’re probably going to notice an unusually greater amount of non-Taiwanese guys out and about trying to keep themselves occupied, but still looking like they’ve got nothing better to do.

One of the strongest deterrents against getting a family pet when I was a kid was the failsafe reasoning that my parents didn’t want to be left holding the ball looking after it. Notoriously whimsical, parents the world over face the tough decision of bringing a family pet into the home knowing that after a [...]
