To see is to believe, if it is hard to imagine.

I have lived here [a small town in the middle part of Taiwan] for thirty something years and it is still one of the most familar places to me. The ginger-based peanut to-fu soup [0.8USD] here is one of the things that makes me nostalgic all the time.

And you don't need to wait until Sunday to go shopping at local Farmer's Markets because they are always there.

Life is different out there as you can see and feel from this portrait.
==================================================================
"The concept of culture I espouse, and whose utility the essays below attempt to demonstrate, is essentially a semiotic one. Believing, with Max Weber, that man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself spun, I take culture to be those webs, and the analysis of it to be therefore not an experimental science in search of law but an interpretive one in search of meaning. It is explication I am after, construing social expression on their surface enigmatical. But this pronouncement, a doctrine in a clause demands itself some explication"
