Ben Goes to Taiwan (not Thailand). Random Ravings from a Roving Rambler. Archive for September, 2008. September 3, 2008. So, in the last couple weeks several of my friends have proposed that I try to get my writings published. I am sort of reluctant, since I’m not sure my fragile ego is quite ready to face the possibility of such rejection. So, I’m asking you: to publish, or not to publish? Leave a comment below! Money inspires the muse; recent events; Wikipedia. Order of the Stick.

Ben Goes to Taiwan (not Thailand). Random Ravings from a Roving Rambler. Archive for November, 2007. I’m not dead…I promise. November 18, 2007. If you’re still reading, the previous sentence was obviously incorrect. Let’s get on with it, shall we? So, my new place. I just moved, for the third time this year (since April, in fact). The first two times, I was moving away from situations that were kind of uncomfortable. This time, instead of moving. A humongous rooftop balcony. Once I’ve got some brea...

For those of you not familiar with Taipei, Guting is at the southwest corner of Taipei City, and Danshui is well to the northwest. It was a pretty good ride. My legs are still sore! My camera was out of batteries, but I will post the pictures my friends took so you guys can see what a beautiful place Taiwan is.

Ben Goes to Taiwan (not Thailand). Random Ravings from a Roving Rambler. Archive for December, 2007. A testament to my stubborness. December 9, 2007. Http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/ericdiep/2061079243/in/set-72157600106691045/. The downside: once I’d gotten to the top, I started riding to where Eric and Harry were waiting for me. Once I’d gotten there, I started to ride past the coffee shop where they were sitting, at which point Eric ran after me and shouted “Ben! The Zen of Golf. December 6, 2007. Build ...

Ben Goes to Taiwan (not Thailand). Random Ravings from a Roving Rambler. Archive for August, 2007. August 18, 2007. So, I’ve got the day off today. Typhoon Sapet is currently blowing through here, so everything’s shut down. Looking out of my window, there are a few brave souls out on the street, but most people are inside, doing safe things like reading the back archives of Schlock Mercenary. At least, those of us who like humorous science fiction comics with large helpings of BLAM). Money inspires the m...

Ben Goes to Taiwan (not Thailand). Random Ravings from a Roving Rambler. June 7, 2007. Water falling from a dark gray sky, each drop picking up pollution as it comes plummeting down through the dirty Taipei air and hitting the pavement outside my office with a soft sound that becomes thunderous when multiplied by millions and amplified by the loose glass shuddering in the window and driving the point home that. Wish me luck. I need it. You know you’re never leaving when…. May 27, 2007. Such is life. ...

Ben Goes to Taiwan (not Thailand). Random Ravings from a Roving Rambler. Archive for January, 2009. Money inspires the muse; recent events; Wikipedia. January 14, 2009. Anyway, money is definitely the primary object of worship here. Which actually inspires some ingenious ways of enforcing the law. First example: in a third-world country where stores giving receipts for purchases is not generally done, how do you force them to report all sales to the tax bureau? Now, I say normal: that doesn’t mean ...

Ben Goes to Taiwan (not Thailand). Random Ravings from a Roving Rambler. Archive for August, 2011. August 28, 2011. So, after 7 years, I’m leaving Taiwan. So this is the last blog entry from Taiwan. Not that I’ve actually published anything in several years, but what the hell, closure is good. Will I start a new blog in Israel? Probably not. My track record with this one has been abysmal. My facebook status will just have to do. Farewell, Taiwan. It’s been a heck of a ride. Order of the Stick.
