Oh, right, I have a blog… It’s been a while since I’ve posted something here, although today I’ve updated the supermarket page, which seem to driving a fair amount of traffic to this here blog on a daily basis. Although things didn’t work out as planned, for the last year (next week anyhow) I’ve been…
On a roll… with the blog at least
So, two posts in one day, that’s a new record and this’ll be the third. I have a ton of stuff I ought to add on here, but I just haven’t gotten around to doing it for one reason or another. As far as my little side project, not much has happened due to various…
The Fu Bar at Fulong beach
It’s quite surprising what you can find on this island and one of the better places to eat here – at least if you’re into grilled meats – is the Fu Bar at Fulong beach. The Fu Bar is owned by a South African couple which happens to be friends of ours and they offer…
How to make perfect Swedish meatballs
The trick to making moist, tasty Swedish meatballs is to use a mixture of beef and pork mince, usually it’s either a 70/30 or a 50/50 mix -this generally depends on where in Sweden you come from as it’s mixed differently in various parts of the country – as it’s pre-ground like that in the…
Zoca Pizza
Fancy some real pizza? Then Zoca should be on your list of places to visit as it’s run by an Italian pasty chef. That said Zoca offers slightly different pizzas as the owner is from the northern parts of Italy where apparently pizza comes with an extra helping of sauce. This in itself isn’t a bad thing,…
Ed’s diner
I haven’t posted any reviews of eateries in Taipei for quite some time, but this is one that’s well worth a visit, even though the location isn’t the most conveniently located. A few months ago a place called Ed’s diner opened up across the river from the Taipei City airport, not too far from Miramar…
How to get or renew your work permit and ARC on your own
One of the things with living in Taiwan as a foreigner is that you need to have a valid work permit to work here and to be able to apply for an ARC or Alien Resident Card. For most people, the company you work for will do this for you, but not all companies do…
Oh boy…
I guess I’ve really neglected this blog, as I haven’t written anything on it for over a year… I’m still in Taiwan, although these days I have a full-time job and things are overall much better than they’ve been for a few years. I’m working on a project on the side that has taken far…
Work in progress…
Well, wasn’t happy with the temporary site design, so here’s a slightly better one, but it’s still a work in progress and it’s unlikely I’ll be done with it any time soon. Apart from that, well, life is what it is, but it’s not fantastic at the moment. Maybe I’m just reflecting too much at…
New site design and some changes
Well, I’ve finally gotten around to do something of a custom design, not sure it’s the final choice, especially the colours, but it’s a work in progress. I’ve also updated the supermarket list, as some things were not up to date and I added another small chain called Kuma to the list. I still suck…
