I am always struggling to find time for myself. There are so many things to do, yet so little time. Hence, reading blogs is the last thing on my mind. If I find time to read blogs, I would always try to read blogs related to Taiwan. Though I have been away from Taiwan for a long time, I still find Taiwan irresistible. In addition, all my families except my brother live in Taiwan.
Some of you might have known that I have a very strong political preference. I only talk about it at my personal blog where I have set restrictions on who can comment on my articles. The main reason is to prevent unwelcome messages and to get into pointless debates since I am neither a polished diplomat nor a savvy politician. I usually try to forewarn my readers of any article I wrote that may contain my political bitching. This way, everyone is happy. You choose what you would like to read and I choose what I like to write. That is the freedom of speech, the freedom of press so long as belittling, direct personal attack, or point-blank insinuation is not involved. What we don’t want to see is the proliferation of Nazis and the condoning of Nazi-like behaviors. If you have read my book review of “The Book Thief”, you would know what I meant.
Anyway, this is the list. I have categorized the blogs so it is easier for you to find whatever suits your need. It is still work–in-progress, so please visit again for any update.

Taiwanese Recipes:
I am a lousy cook. You might wonder why I even bother to read the recipes of my favorite Taiwanese dishes. It is just to get a visual treat and to satisfy my cravings although a lot of the time, I ended up hungering for real food. It is a torture.
