Forum rules
We hope that the Living in Taiwan forum will be of value to you and others. To ensure this, please note:
It is best to capitalize topics and to avoid vague titles. “Hi, I’m new” and “Help please” are examples of bad titles.
Before posting, please check the FAQ thread, and – more importantly – use the search function to ensure that your topic has not been discussed before and that there is not an existing thread you could update with your contribution.
While Living in Taiwan is a busy, wide-ranging forum, there are other specific forums for relationships, teaching, business, legal issues, animals, food, events, travel, restaurants, and so on. Check the Forumosa menu to find the most appropriate place for your post.
While it is preferable to post questions dealing with dissimilar topics in separate threads (“How Much for an Apartment in Tianmu?”, “Are There Many Foreigners in Tianmu?”), if you are a new arrival, it is possible to present numerous questions in one post, but realize that your thread will then, after two weeks, be merged into the New to Taiwan: Some Questions thread.

Gladius?!
"Lo urgente no deja tiempo para lo importante". MafaldaIf any new arrival needs assistance in Taipei, I can provide it in exchange for Star Trek or
Supernatural (the TV series) stuff or other sci-fi materials. Let me know what help you need by PM, along with what you have to offer in return. And yes, I am serious.

A radio? What so you can listen to ICRT? That must be for when all hope is gone - the aural equivalent of cyanide.

I dunno, after 9/21 listening to Chocolate freak out on the radio was quite entertaining. "Won't someone please tell me what's going on?!" etc.

Dunno, might as well learn Hakka as anything else. No much else you could be doing, if you you can't move your hands.

Before you lovingly craft your PM, make like any writer and consider your audience. With all the information at your disposal, is there any possibility that the recipient will open it? Would your time be better employed?

“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

What use is a blade you need to swing while you are buried in rubble? You'd be better off with a gardening trowel. I'd be the last (second last? Bubba 2 Guns?) person to dissuade someone from keeping a righteous vengeance weapon under their pillow, but not for chopping my way out of Taiwanese saltwater and garbage concrete.
