2025 didn’t really go as I hoped, it’s not been a bad year as such, but it’s been frustrating at times. I thought moving back home and getting a degree was going to help me find better jobs, but courtesy of how the world is at the moment, it seems like it did nothing to…

The past couple of years…
I haven’t written much here for the past couple of years, mostly because I’ve been busy with other things. I ended up moving back to Sweden in the second half of 2022 and went back to school, because why not. Well, it was more about it being hard to find a decent job, to a…
That yearly post…
Well, I don’t give this blog as much time and attention as I should, but I figured I should throw up an update, since what can go wrong, it’s 2020 and the world seems to try to implode on itself. Ended up spending nearly 5.5 months in Sweden this year, as I went to Europe…
Three years have flown past…
Yes, I’m still around if you’re wondering. I try to keep things up to date in terms of information on the site, although I’m no longer write restaurant reviews here, they go on Google maps these days. That said, I’ve updated the reviews I have written here with current information, as at least a few…
And I’m back…
Well, things didn’t work as planned and I’m back in Taiwan since a couple of months ago. It’s good to be back and things are looking up in terms of work for a change. I guess it’s time to update things here a bit, but I’m quite swamped with work at the moment. The site…
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 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…
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…
Computex is over, yet work hasn’t slowed down…
The first week of June was Computex, which is usually the busiest week for me in the year, but for whatever reason, I’m getting requests to do freelance work from left, right and centre. I guess it’s a good thing as work has been slow, which in return means I haven’t been making a lot of money….
Easy come, easy go…
Well, I guess it’s not exactly an accurate description of things, but I’m no longer with netbooknews.com… Still, I’ve got more work on right now than I’ve had in a while and hopefully I’ll also make some money on it all, it’s just that I seem to be sitting around waiting to get paid by…
