Plenty of places to climb around on the blogs today....

The Only Redhead in Taiwan has an awesome post on his greening.

mediadiary, always interesting, has a review of a 1950s training film on how to raise livestock in Taiwan.

Scott blogs on the English villages, untrained English teachers in Taiwan, and King Car Education Foundation, which means well, but can't do a damned thing right.

The Foreigner blogs on the Rebirth of Global Autocracy.

Jerome has been blogging like a wild man on the KMT's stolen assets: here, here, and here.

CFImages does Lukang. Beautifully.

bent blogs on transitional justice and democracy here.

Taoyuan nights blogs on the housing market boom. Skeptically.

Taiwan Matters! hosts Maddog's article on Kathrin Hille's reporting.

Brian does Cosplay.

Yet another piece on Treasure Hill in Taipei from Canis Lupus, a great blog I just discovered.

A-gu on selling cigarettes to minors.

NEEDS: Formosa Neijia needs another person willing to study massage so his teacher can open a class.

MEDIA: Pinoy Cook in Taiwan. Taiwan authorities find that Vietnamese Tea is poisonous but in common use in packaged tea drinks or sold as Taiwan tea. Taiwan Review talks about a music teacher who does ethnomusicology among the local aboriginals. Former Economist writer Philip Bowring has a totally conventional piece that argues for the possibility of a breakthrough in China-Taiwan relations in '08 because Hsieh is a "moderate." Ah, the Beijing-based media lives in a different world. What is the Taiwan firm behind the iPhone? Human Rights Watch reports no progress on human rights in China a year before the Olympics.

LINKS: Monday's Taiwan links at David on Formosa. Bent has links. Kerim always has plenty of links.

SPECIAL: Taiwan's own Iris Ho named one of the Hill's Top 50 Most Beautiful people.
