I received very high electricity bill, compared a person whose house is 3 times of mine, our heating cost was about the same (hers by gas), this is insane.

Will and Discipline
We went lunch with uncles and aunt. Uncle used to be a physician. After an accident, he lost strength of his hands. He wasn’t eager to go to physical therapy. Mom accompanied him everyday for several months in the height of covid without vaccination (not enough doses for general public yet). Mom asked the physical …
Power of People
Today is mayor, local officers, and representative election in Taiwan. The dominant party lost most of cities mayors, only kept 5. Worst result since its inception 36 years ago. People want peace instead of war, justice instead of favoritism, good lives (substance) instead of words. Power of people, salute to rightness!

After 5 month of waiting for the permit, the construction of stairs took only one week, if excluding breaks and bad weather. The stairs ended up larger and in a much more prominent place than a typical fire escape ladder. The designer said it’s his first time to do a design like this in the …

Yo estuve abajo de presiĂłn de persuadir los inquilinos mudarse más temprano pero no querĂan. …
Eleccion, Seredipia?

Si, el hotel está bonito y me gusta la mañana pero mejor no…el hotel tiene spa adentro, si no uso, como desperdicio pero casi Nadia usa mascarilla (seguro en agua) y voy a salir …
Best Wish, Shef
More than 4 years ago, I had talked with friends about “home food network” to provide opportunities for people who stay home (& love cooking) and in-transition from another culture as well as celebrating diverse culture. I heard questions from people about food safety, logistics… Today I came across Shef – explore home cooked meals …
