Taiwan, like Japan, has fine beer and great whiskey, and Taiwanese people love whiskey.

They also have good gaoliang/baijiu here if you like that. We got some new teachers in a few months ago who had been working in Georgia (the country, not the state) for a while and I had them try Taiwanese gaoliang. Not even bad stuff, just a decent bottle. They both said it was the worst thing they'd ever tasted. Worse than bootleg Georgian liquor.

Taiwanese whiskey is p good. Got any recs for Taiwanese beer? I'll look around for it. When I was there the only one I think I tried was TAIWAN BEER which wasn't offensively bad, I guess?

I've always wondered how tiny towns surrounded by ice and bare rock manage.

I dunno what they ate historically, but it's a lot of root vegetables and yak products now. They had leafy greens when I was there but they were as or more expensive than yak meat at most places.

I was in the Peace Corps with a Chinarphile guy. He lived there for like 4 months and one of the first things he said to me was "I'm only attracted to Asians". He got engaged to a Mongol girl and they're married now. Before we finished our service he told me "My kid is going to be tri-lingual, he/she is going to speak English, Chinese, and Mongolian". Neither he nor his wife speak any Chinese, so I'm not sure how he thinks that's going to happen.

Chaoshan Pengyou is talking again about how lousy her culture is. I was walking and said I need new shoes and she brought this up suddenly. "Go outside" means traveling domestically or abroad, and also simply going for a long walk away from everyone.

She's actually envious that I can just go for a loving walk all day alone.

Adding it together - A Chaoshan woman: Has no freedom to go where she wants, can't have hobbies outside the house, must give most of her money to her parents (she should be living with them before marriage, only black sheep will work outside), she can't or shouldn't get higher education, she must be married by or before age 23, and she should expect to be a stay-at-home housewife and mom for the rest of her life once she has children since working outside the home or community is deeply frowned on.

How much of a bitch-made dude do you have to be to be so terrified your women are going to run away that you have to enforce a society where they can't even leave the house? LOL

EDIT: I wonder if they allow women to drive. They seem to have a lot in common with Saudi Arabia.

Taiwan Beer is just their totally serviceable macrobrew, it's fine and not bad. There are Taiwanese craft breweries that do pretty good beers, some kinda experimental (hit and miss) and some more straightforwardly good. A couple friends went out to the Jim & Dad's brewery/tasting house in Yilan and said it was a great trip (Yilan is really pretty, too), so if you have a day to spare for that it could be a good tip. Taiwan Head Brewers is the other one I see often (there are a couple of craft beer stores either near my apt or on my way home from work) and their stuff is pretty good.

I went to Chaoshan (Shanwei I think) for the wedding of a friend of mine's "brother."

I drank a whole bottle of cognac doing ganbeis with like a million random chinese people at the wedding and dropped my new cell phone into a squat toilet at some super seedy night club afterward. My buddy's dad made his own hooch in some jar in their kitchen and they gave me a whole tumbler full of it. It was harsh but I did America proud.

Chaoshan food is loving good though. I also had a six hour bus ride back the next day which was awful.

I read Norman Mailer's The Quick and the Dead during the bus ride back and I felt very acutely the suffering of the characters in the book.

Now they're just taking who they want:

Scores of Chinese billionaires and CEOs have disappeared in �state-sanctioned abductions�

DOZENS of China�s billionaires, millionaires and business executives have disappeared in �state-sanctioned abductions� � only to reappear days or weeks later without explanation � in the past 12 months.

In the latest incident, Chinese-born Canadian tycoon Xiao Jianhua was kidnapped from his luxury apartment in Hong Kong�s Four Seasons Hotel by mainland security agents on January 27.

Hong Kong Police investigating the alleged abduction have seized CCTV footage from the hotel which reportedly shows the businessman being escorted from the hotel without a struggle.

The probe is going ahead against the wishes of Mr Xiao�s family who fear any intervention may compromise his safety.

According to the South China Morning Post, Mr Xiao�s wife fled to Japan after reporting his kidnap to Hong Kong and then retracting it.
Mr Xiao is the most high-profile of a long list of moguls and executives from at least 34 Chinese companies to be seized in bizarre circumstances over the past year alone.

Their disappearances are believed to be linked to China�s ongoing anti-corruption campaign, which some critics believe is being used to target President Xi Jinping�s political opponents.

Mr Xiao�s Beijing-based financial services firm Tommorrow Group posted two comments on its WeChat social media account which were later deleted.
�Regarding the reports on me in recent days, I have to say that I, Xiao Jianhua, have been recovering from an illness outside the country,� one of the posts read.

It goes on. You would think that billionaires are usually above the law, but not in CCP China. You would also think that a billionaire who knows he might be abducted would hire some loving personal security or wear an ankle monitor or something. He might also not even go back to China or Hong Kong, but LOL, nope.

Are they going to throw the new Dalai Lama kid in prison? They've been claiming he's a terrorist and whatnot for decades, so it would be pretty weird if they let his next incarnation just set up shop in Tibet.
