Shocked to hear the news

For those of you who know me outside of this blogosphere, I will state for the record that this headline, "Jackson Ending Sleepovers in His Room" is pure exaggeration. No such thing.

Of particular note today is that it is eeriely quiet outside, the heavy rain having stopped for the first time since yesterday afternoon.

Jackson,

Don't you think it is inadvisable to so wantonly disavow your proposed sleepover policy?

Did you see this bit of news:

Anti-Secession Law
This blog stands against the fictitious law passed in March 2005 by the P.R.C. proposing that unification is Taiwan's legal and moral duty, even to the point of the P.R.C. using force to uphold that fiction. TaiwanTiger ascribes to the statement of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council that:
"The Republic of China is an independent and sovereign nation and its sovereignty rests in the hands of the twenty-three million Taiwanese people. Only the twenty-three million Taiwanese people have the right to make the final decision on any change to the nation's status and future."
Taiwanese Food

Taiwanese Food

So, this seems kind of crazy, but hey we all love to eat, right? In Taiwan, it's considered a hobby. When you go on a trip, you need to stop at such and such town for their great ______. Noodles, shrimp rolls, chicken thighs, soup, whatever. Everyplace seems famous for some addition to the Taiwanese culinary tradition. So here I am attempting to document some of the traditions of eating, the places to go, and the food itself. This will be a difficult and slow moving project, because I feel really strange photographing food in the presence of other diners, especially when I have to stand on a chair to get it all in.
