A few days ago I went to a local coffee shop for the first time. The owner was very nice and we had a nice chat, during which he told me that if I had any problems here in Taiwan, I should make sure to ask him for help. I definitely will go back soon, it's a nice little place. I took a look at their webiste just now, and found one quite strange use of English. I've definitely seen my share, but this clearly decorative use of English is an extraordinary example of non-sequitor. Delicately balanced underneath the header to the page is this strange paragraph: "In February, [Christopher] Reeve became the third person in the United States to undergo a surgical procedure called diaphragm pacing, which involves threading tiny wires through incisions in the diaphragm." This tidbit, which comes from a November 2003 AP report, is just what I want to read as I consider my dining options for the evening.
