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.

Excellent link, david. That is a very cool set of tools there, and one more reason why Google Earth is so great. Dragonbones - you'll be wanting to check this out asap - more power to your amateur forecasting!

That's funny, I can't see yours but I can see mine.
Here's a screencap of it, btw (non-updating)

They're calling for strong winds with this one... possibility of a day off tomorrow:
As it is, we seem to regard it as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has taken one side or the other. We regard it (in other words) as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has contrived to reach the object of his reasoning. We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.

Just announced Taipei and Taoyuen both work tomorrow... I think we're in for a wet morning...

I thought I heard Taoyuan and Yilan are on for tomorrow. Not Taoyuan and Taipei...?

Nah they'll not give the day off for that. It'll just be really miserable and more dangerous than usual on the way to work tomorrow. I think a taxi will be the order of the day.

Definitely no day off for Taipei...I flicked over to the local news just as the words "Taibei Shi ming shang ban shang ke" flashed across the screen. This was on Channel 52 a few minutes ago.
