usually it takes me 2-3 visits to grasp the topography of a place enough to not get lost. Taipei Main Station is something else and I don't enjoy it. 🥴 #taipan

Heute (und wahrscheinlich morgen) Kenting. Dann A-Li-Shan und ein Tag Moon-Sun-Lake, ein letzter Tag Taipei und dann geht es schon Heim.
Moon-Sun-Lake wird zu kurz kommen, ähnlich wie gestern Xiaoliuqui zu kurz kam. Muss einfach wieder her 😊

ich habe eine Woche lang den Müll in Japan falsch getrennt.
Sie Trennen nach Burnable und Unburnable. Vor 4 Wochen war ich zu Besuch in einer Müllverbrennungsanlage. Also war in Japan für mich alles Plastik, alles was nicht recycelt werden kann Burnable. Papier und so folglich Unburnable.
Stellt sich heraus, sie meinen es andersherum. 🙃
in Taiwan schreiben sie auf die (ebenso seltenen Mülleimer Recycle und Trash.

#Taipan

Es ist so befriedigend, wenn die Nummer des Bahnsteigsbereichs der Wagennummer des Zug entspricht. #hach #Taiwan

heute geht's für einen Tagesausflug nach Hualien. leider nur kurz, beim aussortieren meiner Tage festgestellt, dass ich einen Tag zu wenig habe. aber immerhin. abends zurück nach Taipei und morgen Richtung Süden.
Hualien ist wieder ein Beispiel für "egal wo du in Taiwan hin willst, es dauert 2h" 😂

#taipan

it's been a while since I left a country sad to leave, but the last few days in Tokyo were lovely and it's tough to know I won't see many people for several years. 🥹

Well, Taiwan I'm back, bring it on! 😁

#Taipan

Wahrscheinlich dumm bei Abreise aus Japan noch schnell eine Folge #InsomniaJapan zu hören 🤣

Last evening with Japan, meet with a friend I made 9 years ago in Cuba.
#taipan

Had another lovely day with some sightseeing (Skytree observation deck is actually well designed), with meeting a friend for the first time since one party in 2017 - and asking someone in the guesthouse on a hunch to hangout and having a lovely evening. I'm shy and introvert and sometimes worked hard for the connections I made on my travels. This is great pay-off. 😊

What a day. can't talk about all the things. Loved the Nagoya Shinkansen-Exhibition.

2 Stunden lang Tokyo auf 5% Akku navigieren, das letzte bisschen rausdrücken und mit genau 1% in der Unterkunft ankommen. ✅

Dear diary. I followed the advice "If you are scared to do it, do it scared" and didn't regret it.

#Taipan

Ich habe seit 4 Tagen nicht geduscht*

Wozu auch, wenn man ein Onsen nebenan hat. 😊

#taipan

Ich merke vom Weltgeschehen auf dieser Reise quasi gar nichts. In den News ist, dass Asien erste Folgen spürt, aber in meiner kleinen Wahrnehmung in Taiwan und Japan merk ich es noch nicht. Das muss nichts heißen, ist total subjektiv.
Das fühlt sich nur seltsam an (Mal wieder) in erster Reihe im Weltgeschehen zu sitzen und als wäre da eine Ruhe vor dem Sturm. Am 22.4. fliege ich zurück nach Europa. #Taipan

Im Onsen sitzen, japanische Tanzmusikshows gucken und dann ist da
Howard Carpendale. :x

#Taipan

And no, please somebody explain why google maps switched it's interface to all Japanese. xD #taipan

こにちわ、日本　Longtime no see. 😊 #taipan

Ich hatte noch keine Food-Tour, die zu lang und zuviel gutes Essen hatte. Diese hats geschafft: https://www.viator.com/tours/Taipei/Taipei-Tastes-Food-Tour-with-15-Tastings/d5262-69673P67

Ich hatte immer noch kein Stinky Tufo! 😫 #Taipan

In anderen Stationen läuft dagegen Klassischr Musik. Menschen müssen ihre Route und Transfers sehr genau planen. 🤡 #Taipan

I discovered that B. Watson (Urchlay) ported #Taipan to the #Atari8bit recently (2026). Obligatory screenshot below. It's still work-in-progress, but it's already pretty good.

I had wanted to port Taipan too, and I've posted elsewhere about my own feeble attempts. At least now, I can just enjoy playing the game on my Atari 800XL. :)

If you want to check it out, it's available at https://slackware.uk/~urchlay/repos/taipan/about/

Strolling through the fields of envy
I take myself and my gray reality
toward a better perception
in the fast approaching horizon..

Hopped over the fence..

Landed on my feet
on the other side
where the grass
was allegedly greener..

Stepped on the #taipan
in residence there..

It bit me so deep in my naivety
all my best cliches bled out
leaving behind an ugly scar
of painful disillusionment..

The truth is never as good as we dream

Pocos recuerdan que #TaiPan es una novela que dió pie a una película que dio pie al videojuego. Básicamente un #Pirates! para #zxspectrum, pocos saben que fue el primer juego desarrollado inicialmente para los modelos de 128 Kb. Partiendo de esa versión, el juego se recortó para adaptarlo al Speccy de 48 Kb.

Day 13:

Today, I'm recommending another book by #JamesClavel, #TaiPan.
It is the second book in #Clavel's fantastic #AsianSaga.

It describes the rivalry of two English merchant families + their rise 2 power against the well-researched background of the #OpiumWars + #Hongkong's early colonial history.
It 1st got me interested in 🇨🇳.

@mina @Yorkshiregeek @evelynefoerster @VeroniqueB99 @si_irini @MaJ1 @mattotcha @2ndStar @energiepirat @SilviaMarton @forthy42 @GreenFire

Kennt sich jemand mit James #Clavell aus? Sollte man #Shogun im englischen Original lesen, oder ist die Übersetzung ins deutsche gelungen? Ich tue mich mit Übersetzungen mittlerweile schwer, weil die oft cringe sind, aber bei 1500 Seiten habe ich doch Respekt, das im Original anzugreifen…

ℹ The Ambassador of #Ukraine to #Australia and the co-chair of the main Ukrainian #NGO in #Australia, publicly called on the Australian authorities to transfer to #Ukraine M1 #Abrams tanks and MRH-90 #Taipan helicopters

↪ the #Taipan being an adaptation of the NH-90 type currently in service with a number of #NATO countries

Severe procurement and operating cost blowouts, mechanical failures, high maintenance costs, difficulty in obtaining spare parts, and several whole-fleet groundings have plagued the aircraft.

🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

🇦🇺 What do you do if you have dozens of combat #helicopters you don’t want?

If you’re the Australian government, you dismantle them and turn them into landfill

That’s the imminent fate of 45 #AustralianArmy and #RoyalAustralianNavy MRH-90 #Taipan #helicopters, grounded since a crash in #Queensland last summer and withdrawn from service

#Australia has had something of a troubled history with its #European-#UK designed MEH-90s, ⏩

Funny you should say so.
As you are studying history, you might know the historic novel of James Clavel, #TaiPan.
In Hong Kong, a business tycoon was (is?) called a #TaiPan.
And there, they believe a lot in luck. They call it "joss." As you mentioned it, yes, #TFG has had an extradinary streak of luck for decades.
Stochastics show, that these streaks will run out some time.
And yes, I think a colapse (maybe not the final one) is imminent. For one thing, I don't think..
