A large fire broke out at a row of metal-sheet factories in Tamsui’s Beitouzi area at 9:46 p.m. on May 25, spreading to more than 10 factories. Heavy smoke filled the sky as witnesses reported hearing multiple explosions from the scene. Authorities fear the fire could spread to a nearby recycling plant. Police have blocked nearby roads and urged residents not to gather in the area. Nearly 80 fire trucks and 165 firefighters from Tamsui, Banqiao, and Zhonghe have been deployed to contain the blaze.

Curious about what are the social medias that people use these days, comments below. For me I only use Insta and WhatsApp/ IMessage

相信大家一定對這個國際新聞不陌生 5/20清晨 由台灣小說家楊雙子創作的Taiwan Trvelogue 拿下英國倫敦獲得國際文學大獎「國際布克獎」（International Booker Prize）殊榮 不只破世界紀錄，也破了亞洲紀錄，英國甚至說考慮要出食譜版本🤣 那這本書在講什麼呢？ 我嘗試用簡單的英文簡短說一下 This is a story talking about a Japanese local female writer went to Taiwan in1938-1939. At that time, a girl who is a translator also as her guide in Taiwan with this writer. They walked around in Taiwan and ate the snacks from south to north. I haven’t read it, but I think this book will be the representative of Taiwan.🇹🇼 ⬇️Lin King’s speeches with English and Chinese https://youtube.com/shorts/MlqrnOciLcU? ⬇️ From 4:52 is Translator Lin King speeches.

實在很抱歉昨天太忙碌了！趕緊來補日記🤣 Borrowed Time: My 3 Month Retirement Today was Thursday, which was the deadline for switching teachers. I ended up changing two of my instructors. The first was for my group class with a native speaker,the teacher is this middle-aged American guy who is always late. Plus, compared to the Filipino teachers, he really isn't that friendly, so I’ve been wanting to drop his class since day one. The second was my writing teacher. The main issue was a super heavy accent, and on top of that, the teaching style was pretty boring. Oh, and his classroom had so many ants!!! I’m really looking forward to getting my new schedule tomorrow. After class, I headed to the gym and signed up for a membership. The walk there takes about 20 minutes, so I’ve made it a habit to grab an iced Americano or some other drink on the way. Sipping it while walking helps make the trek feel a bit less tedious and hot. The AC at the gym here is practically nonexistent 🤣, but to my surprise, it didn't smell bad or sweaty inside at all. I just hope the rainy season doesn't arrive too soon.I'm afraid it might make me too lazy to hit the gym. The food today was absolutely delicious! Plus, I found a great cafe near the school. A cup of latte here is only 95 pesos (around 48 NTD), which is even cheaper than a convenience store latte back in Taiwan!!! 20260521
