This is the best sushi place we went to in Japan.  We bumped into it by accident.  It is so popular among HK tourists that the place has opened a branch in HK.

And most of the US, too.


Also, I've found that Taiwan Chinese are far superior to mainland Chinese. They're polite, don't spit everywhere, can stand in orderly lines without cutting, shoving or pushing, and don't immediately run into the subway car when it opens and race for open seats, or run for the escalator as soon as they exit the subway car. I can't wait until they retake the mainland and restore some order to China.

There's also far less blatant immorality than Korea.

You don't see drunks passed out everywhere, trash in the streets and brothels everywhere.

I can't find any picture of that painting with Io as a cow, writing her name in the dirt in front of her parents.
I really want to use Cafepress and make it a mousepad.

Ask about it in the history question thread, someone here will know.

Not yet, but I've only been back one day and yesterday and today are my days off.

Is it in Chinese?  If so, you can scan it, post it and let me have a look.

Yes, definitely in Chinese.

Probably a denunciation of Buddhism (or an ad for a really kinky sect of Buddhism)

You don't see ... brothels everywhere.

How is that a point in Taiwan's favor?

Some people still believe in modesty and clean living.
