Bread posts it (again), it must be true!







Either Bread's long-term memory maxes out at one year, or someone is in denial about MTM.

Official Northern Command Web Site (aka, The Eight Drunken Fairies). Good, cheap bear and good, pricey food. Photos of the facility as well as bilingual menu.

The Council of Agriculture's Easy Agritourism web site lists Taiwan's top 10 tours. The Chinese site is much more extensive, listing contacts, travel packages and more photos, but the English site has some valuable info as well. For example, when you choose a location and click on Travel Tips on the left sidebar you can discover that in Alisan plants can attack. Their bites may be mean, but they won't cause death. Also, you should refrain from being Mister/Miss-too-adventurous into the bush.


Under the Speaking Chinese section you will find useful phrases suited for each location, as seen in the example below. Be careful, though. The lady speaking likes to shout, and I really mean shout, at least one of the words for each phrase.



(The third one sounds interesting.)

Today, I found out how to say herpes zoster in Chinese. For those interested it's 帶狀皰疹 - dai4 zhuang4 pao4 zhen3 - ㄉㄞˋ ㄓㄨㄤˋ ㄆㄠˋ ㄓㄣˇ

i'm getting memory comments from a guy who can't remember where he parks his motorcycle half the time? ouch.

maybe if you'd have responded the first time i wouldn't have needed to repost. but of course, it's hard to handle the truth, i know.

The Drunken Fairy drinking hole is lame compared to the Mom 'N Pop picnic table. The DF is way too
loud and there's way too much exhaust coming at you from the endless stream of cars & motorbikes blowing by. Find another local for Northern Command & I would probably see you guys a bit more often. But then again, maybe you guys don't want to see me..................
Oh yeah, The beer is cheaper @ M & P.........but you do have to walk up a flight of stairs to piss
