I will never understand the Taiwanese aversion towards raw cookie/cake dough. In Germany, children would even fight over who may have what to lick clean.

But when I offer a bowl or spoon to someone here in Taiwan, the response is usually "Ew! That's raw!" Yes! And it may taste better than the finished thing!

But nobody will try. Well, their fault. More for me...

Karin's second birthday, so I took a day off and we went to the zoo. I think on the way there we have been rather entertaining for the other passengers on the MRT - but we had fun.

I had attempted to put a marble cake into the shape of a "2", the final compromise was still recognisable - and way too big for her.

Something you don't see every day - although it is not the first time a lighter-than-air vehicle goes "underground": A Zeppelin did this, going about 300m below sea level when flying to the surface of the Dead Sea.

I could not find any technical data, and also no price (Something tells me it's better this way.), but this looks very cool!

Here is the article where I discovered this board:

And here is the manufacturer (But as I said, without any hard data.):

Took my dog to the vet this #caturday. The vet has an assistant, so two people are working there. As you can see on the photo they have two stools and one leather chair.

And you can see who's the boss.

Coming back from work I felt pretty much like "Grey Day" (Madness), but then Bowling for Soup cheered me up.

Btw, may I say that I hate VEVO? Restricting videos to be only playable on YT is not fun. Sorry for the quality, but the video in better quality is on the VEVO channel, and that is useless...
