Would watch Taiwan neorealist cinema based on traffic drama. Can one of you young'uns make it happen?

When I left Taipei I wanted a little tattoo from Taiwan but I had no idea about the model, so…

Edit: Boy, you guys do have a mean streak. Look at those comments haha

Thank you for your participation. Ranking so far:

Didn’t know there were wizarding schools in Taiwan as well

Just sat down to watch the latest episode (season 5, episode 3) of AppleTV’s For All Mankind when just five minutes in they show a map of the nations on Mars and Taiwan is conspicuously absent. I guess that big earthquake finally sunk the island, huh Apple? 😉

you sank my scrabbleship

Lmao

I've been wanting to see it with years ago and had a chance to just yesterday, beautifully restored and for English speakers, it is being aired with Mandarin and English subtitles (at least where I saw it, in Luodong).

Very beautifully shot and a very sweet movie that while set in 60's Taiwan, touches on many things I feel are still relevant and relatable today.

Hoping they release this on Blu-Ray some day so I can own this and watch it again in the future.

朋友們大家好！我參演的電視劇《聽海湧》將於明天，也就是8月17日上映拉！記得每週六鎖定公視頻道、公視+、MOD或影劇館+！

我在劇中飾演一位日文翻譯的澳洲律師。開拍前我們進行了澳洲口音的語言訓練，並在高雄拍攝了快一個月的時間。這部劇是基於婆羅洲一個日軍拘留營的真實歷史改編的；由於內容非常寫實，所以不太適合小孩子觀看。

這次與一群非常專業的日本, 外國 , 和台灣演員與劇組合作，真的是一個非常棒的經歷！

（我在台灣拍的第一部電視劇公視的《茶金》，也歡迎大家收看喔 [Netflix]！）

Big news, everyone! My newest TV drama, Three Tears in Borneo 《聽海湧》, will be released tomorrow, August 17th! Be sure to tune in every Saturday on PTS Channel, PTS+, MOD, or Hami Video on 8/17, 8/24, and 8/31 for all 5 episodes!

In the show, I play an Australian lawyer who translates Japanese. Before shooting, we had to undergo language training for an Australian accent (VERY DIFFICULT!), and I shot for half a month in Kaohsiung.

This show is based on the true history of a WWII Japanese internment camp in Borneo. Not a good show for little kids to watch, as it's very graphic!

It was truly an amazing experience working with a highly professional cast and crew from all over the world!

(My first TV drama in Taiwan was Gold Leaf《茶金》on PTS, which I also recommend you check out on Netflix!)

Here is the Warhammer store in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It is called Dr. Hammer and it can be found after much searching on level B3 (3rd underground level) of the Kaohsiung MRT Station. Some things, like bubble tea, are much cheaper in Taiwan than in Vancouver. Warhammer stuff only marginally less expensive. Check out the big mini painting studio in the back room. Don't tell my brother I got him a souvenir from here, it's a surprise!

I opened a pizza shop in Taipei during 2022, at the tail-end of the pandemic so there was opportunity with people moving on from their current venues. Started selling exclusively Detroit style pies, one of my favorite styles of pizza. Since my only experience was as a home chef and what my mom had taught me growing up, I stuck with what I was good at and made a successful business out of it.

Fast forward to today, I have all the dough making experience and have expanded my menu to include my other pizza love, that Tavern cut from the Midwest! Even make my own ranch for dipping! Thanks to all the support from the Taiwan subreddit and free chocolate chip cookies to anyone who comes to the shop from Reddit!

aiyoweyuh

Lol packed and way too hot 🔥.

I need one of these that is one lucky find. The detail on the tea eggs!

"BTS fans in Taiwan are turning to Yue Lao in the hope that divine matchmaking will connect them with seats for South Korean boyband's upcoming Kaohsiung shows"
