Construction companies and developers use the services of construction / development lawyers. These lawyers handle bigger developments that involve many parties, regulations, and permits. For example, developers of big projects are often required to determine a project's environmental impact, as well as file paperwork, hold public hearings, obtain local government agency approval, maintain worksite safety standards, and negotiate project financing. Construction and development law firms ensure you meet all regulatory requirements and prepare the legal documents and contracts you need.

This post is going to be pic heavy!
In all of the photos I used 2 coats of the color unless stated otherwise. and with the glitter topcoats I only used 1 coat of glitter.
The collections consist of:
Some Like it Hot Collection: Lilly of the Valley, Sunshine, Life of the Party, Gotta Have Fate, and Surfs Up
Dazzling Diamonds Collection: Stardust, Purple Heart, Cherry Blossom Sparkler, Ebony Rainbow, Pink Diamond
Lilly of the Valley
Up first is Lily of the Valley, a really neat Green shimmer. It looks a bit like it wants to be a foil, but it is not. It took 2 coats to be opaque for the photographs here. I really like this one.
On top of Lily of the Valley I applied one coat of Stardust. Stardust is a white glitter polish that is translucent iridescent glitter in a clear base. You can see the glitter color better in the bottle in the photo.
This yellow has a hint of shimmer in it, but on the nail it isn't as noticeable as in the bottle(but it is still there). It is a bright sunny yellow, and the name sunshine fits it well. This is one of my favorites from this collection.
Purple Hearts
This purple glitter polish is my favorite of the Dazzling Diamonds collection, because it is different from the others with larger hex glitters along with small glitters instead of just small glitters.
Life of the Party
A hot pink creme, that is opaque in 2 coats, and is really bright on the nail. I am in love with this one as well. Definitely one of my favorites.
Cherry Blossom Sparkler
This is a small pink glitter in a red jelly base. Over Life of the Party, it only tints the polish a little, and the glitter shows up quite well.
Gotta Have Fate
I first have to say that this photo makes my eyes hurt. The polish is not nearly as neon as the photo is showing, and it leans more coral-y. I would say that it is a bright color, just not as bright as my photos seem to make them out to be.
Ebony Rainbow
This is a multicolor small glitter polish. I thought it would be more dense than it is, but it is still a pretty color layered. I think layered over a color that isn't so neon would make it pop even more. You can see the glitter in the bottle much better than on the nail because the color is so bright.
Surfs Up
First off, this polish is why I have been waiting to do the review of these polishes. When I started to swatch them a while ago, I ended up making a huge mess, because it STAINS LIKE NO TOMORROW. In the photos below I tried soooooooooo hard not to get it on my cuticles because if I did, I would have been a not-so-happy camper. This is the only color from the collection I will never wear on its own again, for fear of my nails turning blue. It does cover well in one coat, which would make it good for stamping I think, so I may use it for that instead. This color just caused me un-needed anxiety whenever I removed it! lol. So of the entire collection this is the only polish I do not recommend, because it stains so badly.
Pink Diamond
This pink glitter polish would be awesome on its own. It would probably only take 3 coats to get full opacity, because the glitter is pretty dense. I layered it over Surfs Up here.
You can buy Barielle polishes for $8 on their site. You get %15 off for registering with your email, and they're pretty much always buy one get one 50% off! Ulta also sells them and you can use their coupons if you'd prefer to buy them in person. Don't forget to check out Barielle's Facebook page too!
My favorites of these collections hav to be Life of the Party and Sunshine, and Purple Hearts.

(this is his dominant personality type)
(he also shows elements of this type)
Not sure what I'm looking for, but I assume I'll know once I find it
He is interested in the big picture and likes to examine large, ambiguous issues and ideas.
In relating to others, he can be well-adjusted, trusting, compassionate, intuitive and interested in people.
He is a die-hard romantic, and must have depth and meaning in his relationships.
A few excerpts from his personality test:
- In general, I think it is important to follow the rules
- When making a decision, I like to stick to the facts rather than be swayed by people's feelings
- People should behave according to established standards of proper conduct
His 13 interests
in his own words...
I like having meaningful relationships, but they often come at a price of having only very few of them. I'm fine with that. Quality always trumps quantity in my book. I don't like being average, but with age, I feel less and less exceptional. Accordingly, I would appreciate someone who understood or experienced the meaning of this. It's not that I'm getting old or that I am old already, but with growth, learning, and experience, I become more aware of how similar we all really are. This is both a comfort and a disillusionment, but one I would much rather consider a blessing than a curse. I guess I'm a bit of an idealist at heart, having spent a vast majority of my life snubbing everything that seemed to fit patterns of mediocrity and banality - which are not exactly characteristics we, or I, would associate with any form of idealism. But, I suppose I'm a different kind of idealist now, one that sees my earlier repugnance of all things mediocre as twisted, corrupted, even masochistic fantasizing. The truth is: most forms of idealism strive toward a kind of mediocrity. Idealists have in the past simply called it "balance." I like this word better, but I'm slightly more positively predisposed to the former now that I'm more aware of its fuller dimension. I sound old in this silly blurb, waxing philosophically. Though it is suppose to capture the full spectrum of my being, and a small part of that happens to be trying to understand myself and the world around me through philosophy. And for all my years of easy and/or pained meditating it comes down to one basic fact for me, which is that I'm just as a crazy, sane, plain, and extraordinary as you are. It shows that if you've written and read your own mini-biography, then chances are you've already read and written mine.

Natural gas, a mixture of light hydrocarbons has clean burning characteristics led to increment of its use in vehicles as a clean fuel. Natural gas contains mostly methane and ethane. These light gases have very high vapor pressure at ambient temperature and their storage require high pressure compression or reduction of temperature extremely.
Tag Archives: Compressed Natural Gas
Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG) vs. LNG and CNG
Natural gas comprising more than 20 percent of methane has been used as a fuel for vehicles and that's because of the low cost and less environmental effects relative to gasoline. Methane, the main component of natural gas, is in gas phase at STP condition. As it has very low density, for unit volume of methane, low amount of energy will be produced, requiring high amounts to be stored in tanks.

Freelance writing, a new writing site or contest, online resale, consignment resale; they've all been money-making endeavors that I've tried throughout the years. Some such options were successes…others not so much. And within those options, certain efforts paid off better than others. For example, selling things at one local resale shop earned us more than at another. Selling books online has garnered me more than taking them to the local used book store.
But sometimes, even when these options fail or don't work out exactly as we'd planned, they can still be valuable learning experiences and we try to explore at least one new option each year.
Growing independence
One of the great things about exploring new money-making options is that it increases not only one's experience level, but it can also bolster confidence. Seeing that you're not necessarily bound by the restrictions of a standard 9-5 job can be somewhat freeing. Not only can it grow confidence that you might be able to remain self-sufficient when it comes to earning an income, but it can increase the push to explore new income-earning options that could one day lead to furthered financial freedom.
Backup income options
Whether or not you decide to leave your day job, trying out new money-making opportunities may provide some backup forms of income should a job or regular income loss occur. And even if a financial emergency doesn't strike, these other income streams could provide additional income for goals such as a better or longer vacation, new(er) vehicle, earlier retirement, or just additional savings.
Better downsizing options
Sometimes new forms of income can also be great ways to downsize. Some of the things our family has tried to make a little extra cash but that have also helped us reduce clutter include:
- Reselling lightly used clothes, baby toys, books, movies, DVDs, and video games at area resale shops
- Having garage sales
- Taking larger furniture pieces to an area consignment shop
- Selling through eBay and other online resale options
While the money received for many such sales isn't extravagant, they're least ways to reduce clutter while also earning a little extra cash.
Strengthening our retirement future
Even when our efforts don't pan out exactly as we'd hoped, we often learn something from them. Sometimes we take that knowledge and use it in new endeavors or apply it to current ones to make our attempts more efficient.
For example, about a year ago, I tried selling on eBay. I didn't like it for several reasons. However, I took a break from it for about six months, thought about why I didn't like it, reevaluated why I wasn't successful, changed my approach, and tried again in the new year. And this time I was much more successful.
How does this affect our financial future? Well, I can take these entrepreneurial efforts over time and gauge our successes and failures. This can be a confidence builder and help to continue trying new money makers, possibly even in retirement when income might be more limited. Being able to find money when money is tight can help reduce stress and increase financial stability.

Controversial internet gambling law voted down 10 - 2
Washington DC's online gambling law, which was passed over a year ago attached to a supplementary budget bill but involved a controversial lottery contract worth around $38 million, was repealed on Tuesday. The city council voted 10 -2 to repeal the legislation.
Councillor Michael A. Brown, who introduced the law, offered to submit a compromise bill, but the decision was against it. Councillor Brown reiterated that online gambling was a good thing for the District, and said that the council should not have voted for repeal, even if members wanted to revisit the underlying contract.
Not even a communication from Mayor Vincent C. Gray about his conditional support to re-bidding of the entire contract if the council eventually revives i-gaming did not help. Mayor Gray, who initially supported online gambling, later withdrew his support claiming that the matter became too controversial.
The law's main opponent, a chairman of the city Revenue and Finance Committee Councillor Jack Evans, warned that more scrutiny of the lottery contract would be forthcoming and urged his fellow councillors to vote on any potential re-bid before lobbyists "swooped down on council members," saying: ""There are so many questions about the lottery contract. It was really not done the way it should have been done."
Council member Tommy Wells, who co-sponsored the repeal bill, said "I certainly have a lot of questions about the process of selecting the [local] partner in the lottery contract, and that's a conversation I will be having with Mr. Evans."
Some of the councillors who voted for the repeal were not against online gambling as such. According to them, the process had been tainted and should be completely re-started.
Interestingly enough, further developments of the vote were recriminations and denials between various city officials regarding the procurement and processing procedures on the contract.
Spokesman Byron Boothe from Intralot, a Greek company that made the contract in question with the DC Lottery, commenting on the repeal vote, said: "Intralot is disappointed in the council vote today. We look forward to assisting the D.C. Lottery as they move forward in exploring their space in today's ever-changing gaming world."

Blaze reveals odd priorities
One has to question the priorities of the news media in Hong Kong. They report a kitchen fire in Sha Tin but ignore a fire that devastates a country park.
On February 6, I discovered, while walking in Plover Cove Country Park, that the north side of the valley had been burned of practically all vegetation for roughly 2.5 kilometres.
Consider the cost. Leaving aside the incalculable cost of losing one of Hong Kong's green lungs, some estimate could be made of the expense of putting the fire out (beaters, possibly a helicopter). Add to that the cost of replanting trees. Over the years I have seen students and youth groups planting stands of saplings. Think of the thousands of man-hours that would have to be spent again (if they have the heart to begin again). By any standard the loss must be rated as considerable. Yet I saw no report.
Some questions arise. Did the Country Parks Authority issue a press release on the fire, or did it also regard it as of no consequence? Did the police investigate the cause of the fire? Did any member of the Country Parks Board visit the site to report on the damage? In short, are the guardians of the country parks guarding them? D. E. POLLARD Tai Po

Very nice place in a great location! The apartment is exactly as described, and very conveniently located for the springs. Vincent provides a lot of information, and keeps a clean and cozy place.Joseph2016-08-31T00:00:00Z
He was wonderful and very thoughtfulHeather2016-07-16T00:00:00Z
Vincent's place was easy to find and very comfortable. It's within walking distance of the mineral springs and offers a lot of value for a quick night or two in Ojo Caliente. The next time we return, I will probably try to stay at Vincent's casita again. We had everything we needed plus so much more.Scott2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
Host was friendly and informative. The neighborhood is typical of northern New Mexico...dry, hot, quiet.Kathy2016-07-29T00:00:00Z
Vincent's listing is such a cozy spot. We really appreciated it's closeness to the Ojo Caliente resort, but also loved being able to go back to such a private place. Don't miss out on staying here!Fabricio2016-04-01T00:00:00Z
Great all the way around. Vincent is a great host!Jennifer2016-09-08T00:00:00Z
Vincent was fantastic! Can't say enough good things about him or his comfortable dwelling. It was me and my special lady's 3rd year anniversary and we wanted to spend it at those amazing hot springs. Vincent was honest about all his descriptions and was super helpful. 10 out of 10 would recommend and I am very honest when it comes to that. Very nice place.Dave2016-04-21T00:00:00Z
Vincent was such a gracious host and above and beyond helpful. He went out of his way to give me information for planning my trip, as I had never been there before. He allowed us to check in early, and greeted us when we arrived to make sure everything was ok. The local is perfect to access the Caliente Hotsprings resort, which was the purpose of our trip, and we saved a pretty penny by doing so. The space was VERY clean and a perfect space for two. Everything was in great working condition, fridge, stove, facilities. Coffee & tea provided! He also gave great detailed instructions for everything regarding his space and even provided local menus. The suggested walk time to the resort seemed a bit farther than advertised, but that's not fully confirmed because we drove anyway because of the heat. I fully plan on visiting Vincent again and would highly recommend it for up to two people wanting to spend a few days at the hot springs, but not wanting to pay the inflated room price.CHIARA2016-07-05T00:00:00Z

Ken's place in Taos is awesome. So comfortable and a perfect place from which to venture out in this idyll. Highly recommend.Ned2016-04-23T00:00:00Z
As described, this place is cute. I hesitated to book this place after reading that the bed was a pull out futon. The reviews assured us that the bed was comfortable so we decided to try it. Maybe 20 years ago but at 64, it was not so comfortable for us. Also, it could have been cleaner as there were dust bunnies under the couch (we noticed when we opened to a bed) and spider webs around the kitchen window. OK, that said, I would rate Ken's place 3 1/2 stars. The price and location are hard to beat. We only stayed one night and truly enjoyed Taos. Thank you for sharing your place. Charlie and SheilaSheila2014-10-24T00:00:00Z
Wonderful. Cottage studio exactly as pictured. Ken made sure everything was cool.Red2015-12-01T00:00:00Z
Cute little studio in a convenient location. We stayed one night as we passed through and it was perfect. Fold out sofa was surprisingly comfortable!Jody2015-12-22T00:00:00Z
Ken's place was great and was perfect for me and my boyfriend. It was cozy, cute, and easy walking distance to restaurants and shops in the Plaza. Ken was super helpful and checked in with us during our stay. He was flexible with our checkout time, which we definitely appreciated. Thanks for a great stay, Ken!Jen2015-01-12T00:00:00Z
Great spot in Taos. Very convenient location. The space is all that you need for one or two people. When I was there, the futon couch had been broken by the previous guests and it wasn't able to fold down into a full mattress. Not ideal, but definitely not Ken's fault. He even tried to cut me a deal because of it. There was some coffee there to make in the morning, and even some fresh creamer in the fridge. A nice surprise. The only complaint would be the 1-ply toilet paper, haha. Probably doesn't matter to 90% of guests, just a personal pet peeve. Great place, would definitely stay there again! Thanks Ken and I hope everything worked out with fixing the futon!Eli2016-05-14T00:00:00Z
Had a great stay - really interesting neighborhood within easy walk to plazaRob2014-04-14T00:00:00Z
I loved spending two nights in this cozy studio! The location was great because it made exploring different areas easy (Gorge bridge, the plaza, Taos ski valley), and it was convenient to the main road while remaining nice and quiet. I didn't meet Ken in person but he was extremely kind and attentive- checking-in was a breeze, and he even forewarned us when a winter storm was approaching the area. The listing is priced accordingly, seeing as it's a smaller space with a futon, but in no way does it feel cramped or under furnished. It is very cozy, I loved the decor, AND I found the firm mattress on the futon to be quite comfortable. Thanks Ken!Eva2015-01-31T00:00:00Z

It was absolutely delightful staying at your airbnb. When we entered your sheet of explanations was tremendously helpful. All the needs of guests were well thought out, even a yoga mat, if desired. The kitchen well stocked with all kinds of goodies and condiments. The unit is very well decorated and is comfy and has a welcoming affect. My wife and I highly recommend staying at Nancy's unit. Oh yes and the trickle of the fountain in the courtyard is a definite connection to nature.David2014-10-06T00:00:00Z
Our host guided us along the way from Durango to Taos. Those who have made this drive realize how wonderful and a little complicated it may be! Nancy Lilly pointed is to places like the Rio Grand River Gorge and Earthship...and sent a message daily to assure we were "okay". Very kind... Is it the kind words of encouragement from Nancy Lilly as we worked our way from Durango? Is it the (all-too-short) time we spent as she welcomed us? Was it the simple luxury of the Unit 7? Perhaps it was the welcoming decor...which included a delightful Taos Drum that has become part of our "family history". Was it the txt message during our stay...wanting to assure "is all well?". It's just not quite possible to put into words our delight with the accommodation, the gentle kindness of Nancy Lilly...all superimposed over the magic of Taos. These are pretty condos...well kept with very alluring court yard. Adequate parking. Wonderful experience and the highlight of a 15 day adventure for my wife and me.Edward J 2015-10-21T00:00:00Z
Nancy's space was perfect. It fit two people comfortably thanks to the large bed in the bedroom and the two futons in the living room (which were so neat I am looking into getting one!). She left great tips on places to eat and left some treats in the fridge. The location was perfect, just a couple of blocks away from the plaza. Nancy even went above and beyond by leaving a nice birthday card for my mother which was the reason for the trip. Nancy was a wonderful host. I highly recommend booking her lovely condo.Shawna2014-11-23T00:00:00Z
Cozy place. Great artwork. Came for a ski weekend. Perfect for our needs.Alex2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
WE enjoyed our stay! Nancy was a wonderful host!Becky2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
Nancy was very helpful throughout our whole stay, including providing directions to the condo and suggestions on what to do in town before we even arrived. The condo was very cozy and had everything we needed, highly recommended for a small group.Jake2016-03-19T00:00:00Z
cozy place, full kitchen, close to old plazaKirill2016-10-12T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed staying at this cute and cozy condo. The decor inside was wonderful and had a great vibe. Nancy was a great host and was very clear about the sleeping arrangements prior to our stay, and also checked in on us to make sure we got there ok. We were comfy with three adults and a baby, not much extra space, but it worked for us. Location was great and the outdoor spaces were nice to sit and relax. We had a great stay!Chelsey2016-05-21T00:00:00Z

Eileen's condo is perfect! What a great value for a great location. My wife raved about how clean it is. So sweet of Eileen to leave cinnamon rolls and fruit for us. We will be back!Steve2016-03-17T00:00:00Z
Definitely enjoyed our stay at Eileen's place. From the welcome cookies to the inexplicably restful pillows and luminous fire logs, the condo made us feel part of Taos right away. Being able to walk over to the plaza was icing on the cake. The courtyard and quiet location are simply beautiful.John2016-11-21T00:00:00Z
This was the best part about Taos! The courtyard is beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. The home itself is also wonderful! It is quiet, clean, cool in the summer, inviting and cosy. Location is great and it is a short walk to anywhere in the plaza. Eileen does a great job of stocking the house with anything you would need: scissors, extra towels, ice cubes, snacks, guide books and pamphlets, emergency numbers, and there is even guest laundry if you have an extended stay. If we return to Taos, we are staying here!!!Kellen2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
The Park and Walk apartment is exactly as depicted. It is clean, quiet, and attractive, close to the Plaza, close to a great grocery store, and with parking. Eileen made staying there very easy. We enjoyed our stay in Taos a great deal. We'd recommend this place to anyone.Janet2015-08-08T00:00:00Z
We had an excellent host. We told here it was our anniversary and she provided a bottle of champagne and a snack upon arrival...very cool. The location was fantastic, walking distance to the plaza. The place was clean and had a beautiful courtyard and was well decorated and equipped for a fun stay. Overall, an excellent place to stay and I would stay there again.John2015-06-25T00:00:00Z
Eileen did a wonderful job with the place and made us feel welcome. The place is very comfortable and in the perfect location.Jerm8282016-10-30T00:00:00Z
Neighborhood was quiet, we felt safe parking and staying here. Great central location to The Plaza and all the galleries and was a good stepping off point for day trips. We loved the kitchen and cooked in two of our three nights. Eileen thought of everything - had dishes, silverware, many cooking supplies, olive oil and basic spices to cook with. There were empty hangers, extra towels, luggage stands, Ziploc baggies, filtered water, cleaning supplies and even laundry supplies and access to the guest laundry facilities. She also left maps, Taos magazines, a current newspaper and a great 3 ring binder with all the vital details of her home with pertinent Post-It notes in the home on certain topics ie) the sliding glass door, the porch light etc... Her home is comfortable, tastefully decorated, and had so many amenities that it was not like traveling, but more like being at home. Fantastic experience!Tammy2015-06-20T00:00:00Z
We were so happy to have our neighbor Eileen set us up for our visitor's. Cookies and fruit were there for them. Very comfortable and very good communications all along! We will certainly be renting again!NANCY LILLY2015-07-24T00:00:00Z

It is in a quiet neighborhood with amazing mountain views. It had everything that our family needed for our stay. The welcome candy was a nice touch. Great location for hiking.Lallie2017-03-18T00:00:00Z
Angelica's place was great. Check in was a breeze and the place was just as described. She even provided some excellent touches like high quality coffee, half and half, teas, and fabulous local honey. we struggled to get the futon down for the kids to sleep, and she was very prompt in responding to my email asking for guidance. A great value and a pleasant stay! Traveled with a family of four- 2 adults and 2 kids (8 and 6).Stacy2017-03-14T00:00:00Z
Angelica is a great host, and here place is cozy and clean. This was a great experience.Jaime2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

The place was great and Joni as very accommodating!Christopher2017-01-21T00:00:00Z
Joni's place is just as described in the listing, a very nice base to explore Taos. It is very conveniently located not far from the main street of Taos and the plaza. It was very quiet at night also. It has everything you might need if you want to cook too. We would certainly stay there again. Joni was very accommodating considering we booked the wrong date and arrived one week earlier than the booking! She was very gracious and luckily for us there was no one else arriving that night! Overall it was a very good experience, especially considering our mistake in the booking.Martin2016-10-18T00:00:00Z
Very nicely appointed little place. Just as described. The only comment is that some noise was transmitted from the main house, but this never presented much of an issue!Aaron2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
Joni's place is wonderful! Great location walking distance to town and easy off-street parking. The apartment is fully equipped, very clean and well-designed. We enjoyed meeting Joni and will return to Taos!Deborah2016-11-01T00:00:00Z
The renta was very comfortable and clean. The location was in a quite neighborhood and a lovely walk to shops and restaurants.Angelica2016-11-03T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Sadie's! The studio was charming and spacious, super-clean, and very livable—it felt like coming home to our apartment rather than a hotel, and made for a great end to each day of our stay. The location was perfect: within a reasonable walk to downtown, and the off-street parking made it easy to use the car when we needed it. This place is excellent, and we'll be looking to stay here the next time we visit; no need to look elsewhere.Nathan2016-05-06T00:00:00Z
Great place to stay!Emmy2016-05-20T00:00:00Z
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Zia Casita. The posting was accurate to the accommodations. It was the perfect size for the two of us and we were even able to enjoy the fireplace, which quickly heated the apartment. The heat light in the bathroom was a great addition and the white noise machine worked perfectly. Sadie quickly responded to some questions that we had and was very accommodating. Zia Casita will definitely be a memorable place for us as it was the setting for our engagement!! We will definitely be back. Peter and TamaraPeter2016-05-02T00:00:00Z

Sadie has thought of everything one could possibly need during their stay at this beautiful casita in Taos. The location is perfect and near grocery stores, shops, and restaurants.

Perfect location, comfortable studio and truly a little Oasis for our weekend in Taos. Our arrival and visit were meticulously planned by Donna well in advance. We never actually met but everything worked like clockwork and was just as described.Bob and Angela2015-09-28T00:00:00Z
Look no further! Donna and her apartment are beyond wonderful. My husband and I got to spend two months in Donna's apartment during our sabbatical. We are already trying to figure out how we can come back as soon as possible! Donna is an extraordinary host—she is responsive, accommodating, on top of everything, and thoroughly delightful. The apartment is clean, quiet, well appointed, and full of character. It is also perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood that is close to everything (so you have the best mix of peace and accessibility). The plaza, museums, art galleries, grocery store, and great restaurants are all a short walk away! Sit in the gorgeous courtyard and relax; drive six minutes up the road and hike/bike one of four magnificent trails that begin at El Nogal campsite (in Carson National Forest); walk to the plaza for a meal and tour of museums or art galleries, hear live music at the Mesa Brewing Company or the park, go antique shopping, visit the Pueblo, ski… There is so much to do and it is all easily doable from Sonterra. At the apartment, you can keep to yourself and/or interact with the local residents, all of whom are wonderful people. We are extremely fond of Sonterra and its residents and caretakers! Thank you, Donna!!! We can't wait to return!Alisa2016-03-31T00:00:00Z
I loved staying in Donna's Sonterra condo in Taos! Everything about it was exactly as advertised, from the look and feel of the unit, to the proximity to the main plaza. It was exactly what I was looking for. The kitchen contains the basics so I was able to cook for myself. The unit is cute and nicely decorated - not some anonymous hotel room. It was quiet and yes, tranquil! Donna was easy to work with and responsive when I had questions. I would definitely stay there again.Christine2014-04-23T00:00:00Z
This was the perfect place for my husband and I. It is right in town. The property is well kept with clean rooms and a fantastic courtyard.Amanda2016-05-25T00:00:00Z
Our stay at the "Oasis of Taos" was enjoyable . It was clean and provided us with all the amenities we needed. The wood burning stove was a nice touch to take the chill off the cooler evenings. The location is close to the plaza, galleries, and grocery store. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to returning again. Donna was pleasant and provided us with all the information we needed for our stay .Judy2015-10-24T00:00:00Z
The condo is within walking distance to nearly everything one would want to see in Taos and just next to a very large and well stocked grocery store. The place was clean with all your basic necessities provided.Rich2015-12-27T00:00:00Z
The apartment was exactly as portrayed. It was comfortable and clean. The complex is adorable. We enjoyed our time there, it felt very much like home.meryl2016-09-22T00:00:00Z
Wow, what a great time we had in Taos and the surrounding area. Thank you, Donna! Perfect location close to everything you need. Walking distance to downtown Taos, groceries, excellent restaurants and more. The condo was super clean and check-in/out was a breeze. If you're a hiker, be sure to drive up to Taos Ski Valley and hike up to Williams Lake. Stunning! We would definitely stay at Donna's condo again. Perfect! Thank you!Paul2014-06-14T00:00:00Z

Erin was a great host and did her best in accommodating all our needs. The location was great and near all the main activities in town. As a side note, we really enjoyed our dinner at the local restaurant La Cueva. Would definitely consider staying here again the next time we visit Taos.Mario2017-03-18T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely time in Taos. Erin's place was very comfortable, with a veranda around the house, very near to the center of the town and the park in the back yard. Vans in every room, open well equipped kitchen, we certainly recommend the place.Ineke2016-07-16T00:00:00Z
Cozy and spacious place walking distance to downtown Taos. The host thoughtfully brought up and had the AC running before our arrival as it was unseasonably hot during our stay.Lillian2015-06-23T00:00:00Z
The way that Taos is laid out, it is hard to imagine being much closer to the heart of the city than Erin is. Very clean place with two comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, and Erin is a great communicator. Definitely recommend this place if you are planning a visit to Taos. We didn't useChris2016-11-21T00:00:00Z
We were very happy with Erin's casita. All very clean and well maintained. A perfect spot. Thanks Janejane2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

Incredible apartment! This was perfect for a weekend in town and Marcus truly thought of everything.Amelia2014-06-16T00:00:00Z
Marcus, a very amiable person, greeted us at the apartment, showed us around and explained how everything worked. He made excellent recommendations on what to see around Taos and where to eat. The Love Apple and El Meze were the two we tried and can only recommend them highly. He had left a bottle of wine as well as breakfast provisions for the next day. This is a very well appointed, spotlessly clean, stylish apartment. It was very neat ,tidy and uncluttered. As it has recently been meticulously renovated by Marcus everything is in new condition and has everything you would need for an extended stay. We only spent two nights so did not fully utilize all that it had to offer. The full size clothes washer and tumble drier were just what we needed after several days on the road. Very comfortable bed and quality linen. This is the sort of place that makes you feel you should light the Kiva fire and snuggle up with a good book. There are plenty available. The apartment is only a few steps away from the plaza but in a very quiet street. We did not hear any noise from the neighbours and only caught the occasional glimpse of them. Wi-Fi worked without problems. Prior to arrival Marcus responded promptly and helpfully to our questions. We support all the other positive reviews of this apartment and would highly recommend it. We wish we could have stayed longer.Bruce2014-03-28T00:00:00Z
My wife and I wnt to Taos, NM after staying 6 nights in Telluride in another unit booked through airbnb. Marcus's property in Taos is wonderful! It has a superb location (never used our car), is well-equipped and conveys the Southwestern style. It is quiet and near great restaurants. Marcus was patient and flexible when our arrival was about 2-hours later than we had initially envissioned (rain played a part, but also some miscalculation on my part.Leonard2015-07-08T00:00:00Z
The apartment was lovely, comfortable, and just as promised. The location is wonderful and made it so easy to walk to the plaza, restaurants, and shops. Also, it was easy to base out of the location and visit nearby sites such as the Earthship community, the Taos Pueblo, and the Mable Dodge Luhan house. Marcus is a gracious host and provided recommendations in his email prior to our arrival. Loved the food at El Gamal! And, happy hour prices at the Taos Inn.Karin2015-06-22T00:00:00Z
Marcus was the ideal host. He was responsive, thoughtful and provided great local recommendations. Marcus' place is even better than in the photos. It was extremely clean, everything was well thought out and everything we needed was there. Perfect location in the middle of town. We wish we had more time to spend in Taos! Thank Marcus!Emily2016-01-18T00:00:00Z
My family experienced a great visit to Taos and this home provided the perfect place to call home as we explored the area. Great location, clean and comfortable!Peter2016-05-30T00:00:00Z
Marcus was a superb host. We felt like we had a friend in Taos as soon as we met. Everything about the apartment was special. The photos only hint at its special location in a traditional courtyard Adobe building. Nearby the center of Taos, the apartment is a short walk to the Harwood Museum, a wine bar and bucolic side streets. We loved Taos.Susan2016-06-03T00:00:00Z
Marcus's home was cozy, clean and comfy. Marcus was a gracious hot and interesting guy, and I would recommend staying at his home.Richard2016-06-01T00:00:00Z

Cozy and convenient to restaurants, market and ski area.Broocks2016-03-01T00:00:00Z
We both enjoyed our stay. The room was small but furnished well and the bed was superb. The weather was warm and the room had no AC but with the windows open it worked out well and the cool breeze kept things comfortable. Our only real complaint was the tightness of the parking lot. This was our first Airbnb experience and I must say that it was a pleasurable experience!Jhonathan2016-06-20T00:00:00Z
Clean, cozy room. Good location. Parking can be a bit tricky if you have a larger vehicle. Neighbor put up a fence that requires you to back in or out and park at an angle. I would stay again.Paul2014-12-22T00:00:00Z
The perfect space for two people. The view from the room was incredible. Phenomenal location within walking distance of everything that you need in Red River. We are very excited for our next visit, and would highly recommend this room to our friends and family.Lee2016-01-18T00:00:00Z
Great view facing the ski mountain and walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Room was cozy and pet friendly. Would stay here again and would recommend to a friend. Price is very reasonable!CamilleandJeff2016-03-11T00:00:00Z
Great location in Red River. Kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked with the necessities. I will definitely stay here again!Alexander2015-03-28T00:00:00Z
The "condo" is smaller and more basic than I imagined, being the equivalent of a very small, albeit tastefully furnished, motel room. The only appliances are a dorm fridge and a microwave, so coffee and meal prep are not options. The memory foam mattress is very high quality, so we slept well. The bathroom is darling and small. Location a block off Main St is excellent. Keyless entry made arrival and check-in a snap. Knowing what to expect, we would bring a coffee maker and some dishes and stay here again.Silas2016-02-22T00:00:00Z
The room was very clean and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. Perfect for a couple!BETH 2013-07-22T00:00:00Z

What a gem- the place and the host! We loved it... it's so nice, setup perfectly for guests with many special amenities, and it's located in the best part of town. We were in walking and biking distance (Jeff has two cruiser bikes available) to all the great shops and restaurants. We had such a lovely time and without a doubt when we return we will return to the historic mill house apartment!Katy2015-10-28T00:00:00Z
Perfect location, walkable to the Plaza and the ski bus. The unit is completely charming and clean with comfortable beds and everything you might need. We loved it and wish we had stayed longer.Robin2017-03-24T00:00:00Z
This was an awesome place to stay in Taos. It was a 3 minute walk from all the shops, restaurants, etc. The apartment was immaculately clean and comfortable! Would recommend highly!Maureen2017-01-30T00:00:00Z
A small group of us stayed in the cozy casita and had a great time. It is not a far drive from the mountain and just walking distance from the plaza. Jeff was very responsive and the decor and cleanliness of the house clearly shows how much he cares about his home. It was a great vacation! I would definitely come back.Jennifer2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
Fabulous place with great Southwest charm! Walkable to just about everything in downtown Taos. The layout was huge for a downtown location, and perfect for my wife and I plus a friend. (You could easily sleep two couples with two kids on the sofa too). We took an Uber out to the Mesa Brewing mother ship for a great concert and enjoyed live music at the Taos Inn. Great Mexican food at Bella's, and Gamel (vegetarian middle eastern food) and The Gorge were great when we tired of Southwestern food. Jeff was great in answering our questions before our arrival. Highly recommended place to stay!Andrew2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed our stay very much. Jeff is helpful and attentive, providing us with good directions and guidelines. The accommodations were lovely, clean and well situated to walk into the center of town, restaurants, and shops. Jeff also gave us a good hiking tip, which we loved.Ellen2015-05-15T00:00:00Z
A great place in a great location. The kitchen is well equipped (high-end gas stove, quality cookware and flatware) if you're interested in a home cooked meal. Staying in an adobe home is fun! Walkable to wine tasting, restaurants, and galleries. We were concerned about noise from the road, and found that a few noisy vehicles could be heard, but overall the adobe home did a good job attenuating the sound. For light sleepers, the queen sized bedroom was quieter and darker! We would definitely return! November is an uncrowded shoulder season.Scott2016-11-15T00:00:00Z
Great weekend in Taos in spite of the snow. Jeff's place was warm and cozy. We loved the location and the charm.Jamie2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

Robban was very helpful with us before and during our trip to New Mexico. We have never stayed in an Airbnb before and so our stay with Robban was our first ever. They day before we were scheduled to check-in, we received an email with helpful directions on how to get to the house, she knew we were from out of town so her directions were very helpful. The studio was actually more than what we had seen from the pictures posted. Since there were only two of us travelling, the studio was the perfect size for our four-night stay. It was very spacious and it had all the supplies we needed for our dinner at home. She provided plenty of kitchen tools and utensils in case we wanted to cook. The studio is separate from the main house so we were provided with a lot of privacy for the days we wanted to stay in. it could be a little tricky getting to the house since it's on a hill, but her directions were very clear and we had no problem finding the house. The property itself is a little distant from the neighboring houses so in addition to the privacy from the main house, you get privacy from the neighbors as well. In the morning, the site was very beautiful, there are plenty of windows in the studio so you can see the full view of the mountains in case it's too cold to go out.Mark2015-12-29T00:00:00Z
The studio was nice, clean and as advertised. Our hosts were very respectful of our privacy. Amazing views, quiet, and close to Taos, this studio offers it all for a very reasonable price.Brian2016-10-18T00:00:00Z
Robban's home was wonderful and cozy! It was perfect for our weekend getaway. The view of the mountains and forest was amazing, especially when waking up to fresh snow. Very close to Taos and Sante Fe if you want to continue to explore. We had a lovely time. Thanks!Marissa2015-02-23T00:00:00Z
Just had the perfect relaxing weekend in the Studio. The place is simple but had everything we needed, plus the most amazing views in all directions! Not too far from town or the ski resort and close to pretty awesome hot springs.Erica2015-02-15T00:00:00Z
This was one of the best AirBnB sites I've stayed at! Robban made sure all the details were worked out, we had great directions, and the description on her site was very accurate to the actual site! We were so impressed and I loved that her aesthetic was very well thought out. Everything about this place was charming and welcoming and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone staying in the Taos region. Thank you, Robban!Allison2016-02-15T00:00:00Z
Really beautiful space with an absolutely beautiful view. It was exactly as in pictures. Lots of privacy and lots of open space, so really nice for writing or art retreat. I cooked most of my meals and the kitchen had everything I needed (the stove was amazing and the fridge was huge!). I felt safe and peaceful and would not hesitate to go back. Highly recommended!Anna 2016-10-11T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay here! The room was just like the pictures; sunny and inviting and lots of space for our bags and bikes. And it was always warm even at night, but a few open windows made it the perfect temperature. Even though I didn't meet the hosts, the communication was great and the fresh tomatoes on the table and the note made us feel very welcome.Beth2015-09-27T00:00:00Z
It was such a beautiful spot and we felt right at home.Mary Ellen2016-03-24T00:00:00Z

While the property is close to the town plaza and thus is convienient, there were a few things that we wish we would've known prior to booking this listing. Those including a lack of cleanliness of the property (I.e. bugs dead and alive within the space), loudness of the nextdoor neighbor dogs (very loud all times!), the unfriendliness of the street, and the futon which really is not really sleepable for an adult.Samantha2017-03-12T00:00:00Z
Great spot for 2 people. We enjoyed our stay.Ryan2017-03-31T00:00:00Z
Great little apartment. Zero hassle and the location puts you less than two minutes away from everything. Also, the skylight above the bed was pretty awesome.Gary2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed our stay in Elizabeth's Cozy Casita. She is a gifted painter and the walls are decorated with many of her paintings. She was a fine host.Roshani and John2015-11-25T00:00:00Z
This apartment is in a great location. Super easy walk to the plaza, and an even easier walk home. The shower had great hot water pressure. We don't watch much TV, but I loved having access to Netflix for our stay. Good communication with host, who was very friendly but left us to our devices. Great stay!Deborah2016-09-23T00:00:00Z
I couldn't make the trip unfortunately, but my husband Brian and our dog had a great weekend in Taos. Brian's review: Elizabeth's apartment was exactly as advertised: comfortable, private, and the perfect size for a couple or small family. It's situated on a nice, quiet, and shady residential street, and for once the part about being within walking distance of something was not overstated. The plaza, the main arts district, even the supermarket and local diner (my go-to for breakfast) are minutes away. On a busy and likely over-booked Memorial Day weekend, I couldn't have found a better spot to enjoy the town and the sites across the entire area. Would recommend to anyone looking for a base from which to explore Taos. Additionally, Elizabeth was incredibly helpful and responsive. A wonderful host.Carlee2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
I had a great stay in Taos at this apartment. Elizabeth was very nice and helpful. There was four people in my party, and it was a bit tight, but worked. Kitchen was perfect for us as we wanted to stay on a budget. Location is great, right next to the Taos Plaza which has many restaurants and boutiques. Good location for skiing as it is in between both Angel Fire and Taos Ski Valley. About a 45 min drive (in bad weather) to either. We also went to Ojo Caliente, a mineral springs spa nearby that was wonderful. Great location for a great price. Thanks, Elizabeth.Jared2015-12-25T00:00:00Z
Elizabeth's place was exactly as advertised with her lovely artwork lining the walls. The perfect size for my boyfriend, myself and our pup. It is in a great location, an easy walk to the town square and centralized for all the places you'd want to explore in the area (Taos plaza, Taos ski valley, Taos Pueblo, Ojo Caliente mineral springs, the Rio Grande Gorge). Elizabeth was extremely communicative prior to our arrival and very kind and welcoming when we met her in person. We are so appreciative of her flexibility with our check-in time and finding a place where we could bring our dog along. We very much enjoyed our stay, though we were mostly out and about hiking/exploring it was the perfect home-base for us during our time in Taos.Mariel2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Dan and Lauri were so easy to keep in touch with and responded to emails very quickly. We were so excited about our trip but it almost seemed like they were as excited as we were! We loved Abiquiu and Wranlin' Writin' Quarters, Dan, and his dogs made the stay one we'll remember for a long, long time (Lauri was out of town and I'm sure we missed out by not meeting her). The apartment was super easy to find and when we got there, a nice welcome card and bottle of wine were waiting for us. We got a tour of the place (including two beautiful and relaxing spots right on the river) and felt at home right away. We used the list of recommendations and tried just about everything in the guide... they were spot on and I would highly suggest following them. The food we got to try was awesome, including the fresh eggs, bread, and butter from Dan! We noticed the property next door is (was) for sale and I fantasized about buying it and becoming neighbors. I have nothing but great things to say about AirBNB and AirBNB hosts but I feel like the stars were aligned when we found Dan and Lauri's amazing spot. We would absolutely and definitely choose to stay at the Wranglin' Writin' Quarters again. Thanks for everything Dan (and Lauri!)Frank2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
Daniel and Lauri were the perfect host. They and Paco ;0) welcomed us with open arms - very gracious hosts! Everything was as described and MORE!!! Wonderful, beautiful, relaxing and fun place to visit. Everything was clean and the bed was most comfortable!!! What a joy to spend a week with them. Thank you again so much Daniel and Lauri for making my visit one that makes me want to come back - Soon. And thank you for your recommendations it made my visit a fun and adventurous !!!Linda2016-05-27T00:00:00Z
Our first time staying in New Mexico, and I don't think we could have chosen a better place! The apartment was clean and exactly as described, perfect for our two night stay. We did get a bit hot during the day (it is July!), but the Rio Chama that runs through their acreage was a more than a welcome experience for a cool swim and a chance to fly fish. Dan and Lauri provided some natural bug repellent for us, which was very thoughtful and we used it! The property is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. Not only was the scenery itself great, but Dan (we're sorry we didn't get to meet Lauri) was so warm and welcoming. Dan was enjoyable company, and also gave us a tip to one of his favorite hikes near the house, I want to say Red Wash Canyon - it was stunning. Both Steinbeck and Paqo, were happy and energetic poodles, not to mention adorable, and got along well with our black lab, Sam. We're already missing this little slice of paradise in New Mexico!Carissa2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
You couldn't find more lovely people than Dan and Laurie! They were generous, gracious and I only wish I had had more time to spend with them. The little casita was perfect. Beautiful light, warm and cozy. The property is unbelievably beautiful, with horses and dogs, a ginormous garden and bordered on two sides by the river and lovely cottonwoods. Birds of all kinds swoop and dive. Once can sit on an outdoor sofa and watch the cows in the river, draw or journal. It is a true sanctuary.Amy2016-04-30T00:00:00Z
Dan and Lauri's property is a dream. Scenic and secluded but close enough to the highway to easily explore the area. The river is on the backside of their property, so we were able to sit and enjoy the water and do a bit of fishing. The apartment was clean and cozy with everything we needed. Dan, Lauri, their horses, and dogs are all so sweet and we loved interacting with them. We felt right at home and truly appreciated all the hospitality.Jessica2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
Dan was very friendly greeting us and making us feel welcome. Very thoughtful to leave us a bottle of wine and a list of places to visit in the area.Cheryl2016-07-10T00:00:00Z
Dan and Lauri have created a magical get-away, perfect to see Georgie O'Keefe's Abiquiu in cozy privacy, comfortable seclusion, and scenic remoteness. The extensive walks around the property, along the Chama River and among various strategically situated meditation sites, are special treats. The horses and dogs are delightful; the view of the mountains entrancing; the silence of the night, broken by distant owls, lovely. The room warms up or cools down admirably and fast. The place is not just a perfect place from which to visit Abiquiu; it is, in itself, a reason to visit.John2016-11-23T00:00:00Z
We loved staying at Dan's studio apartment. The lodging was very comfortable, and the location is superb, right on the Chama river in the beautiful river valley. Dan was available for any questions or concerns, and he set us up for breakfast the first morning, which was very considerate. We highly recommend this place.Therese2016-10-24T00:00:00Z

This is an amazing place to stay. Cozy and very neat. Very conveniently located to all the skiing locations as well as eateries in town. Full kitchen and washer and dryer are a huge plus. After a long day skiing getting to stay in and cook a dinner and relax was really enjoyable. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to everyone.Carlos2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

I was wandering the streets of Monga 艋舺 not far from Wanhua Station 萬華車站 when I noticed this row of vintage scooters parked along a sidewalk. They reminded me of droids from Star Wars, particularly the one on the far right (and not only because the new film is in theaters soon). It isn't uncommon to see such old scooters kicking around Taiwan 台灣 but seldom can you find so many in one place. I suppose this must be a used scooter dealership?
Vintage Taiwan 老式台灣
Posts about vintage Taiwan 台灣 focusing mainly on old streets and historic architecture.
Changhua Roundhouse 彰化扇形車庫
One of the most unique attractions in Taiwan 台灣 is the historic Changhua Roundhouse 彰化扇形車庫, originally built in 1922 during Japanese colonial rule and still in operation today. Although information is hard to come by it seems that it might be the only roundhouse still operating in Asia—and certainly one of the oldest still in regular use anywhere in the world. Every other roundhouse I researched for this article has been abandoned, demolished, repurposed, or converted into a museum, and those rare few that are still operational have been mighty hard to date. As such, the Changhua Roundhouse is a dream to visit for a railway enthusiast like myself, particularly since the ambiance hasn't been ruined by the sort of tacky treatment you'll often find at Taiwanese tourist attractions. After signing in with the guard at the gate I had free run of the place—and as you can see from some of the following photos, nobody minded me getting dangerously close to moving trains as the mechanics went about their daily routines.
Maple Community Honest Shop 楓樹社區誠實商店
Taichung 台中 is home to an unusual social experiment: the Honest Store 誠實商店 in the Fēngshù Community 楓樹社區 (literally "Maple Community") of Nantun 南屯, Taiwan 台灣. According to roundTAIWANround (through which I discovered the place) it was once a general store of the traditional variety that you'll still find scattered around the countryside and in older neighbourhoods. Such shops have been fading into history for years, unable to compete with the modern chains that have become symbols of Taiwan's culture of convenience. The shop would have shut down had the owner not experimented with a new model: locally-sourced goods, financial transparency, and no paid staff, relying on the honesty of its patrons to stay in business.
Vintage Style at Hexing Station 合興車站
Last week I went out with a friend to explore rural Hsinchu 新竹. After checking out a cable car tower in Guanxi 關西 we slipped over the township line to Hengshan 橫山 to make a brief pitstop at Héxìng Station 合興車站, the only wooden train station on the newly reopened Nèiwān Line 內灣線. Inside the station house we discovered this wall of vintage clocks, obviously somewhat contrived but every bit as photogenic as intended. Although this station (and the rest of the railway line) was built in the 1950s, after the Japanese colonial period, many of these mechanical wind-up clocks bear Japanese names like Gifutokei, Aichi, and, of course, Seiko.
Taitung Chinese Association 台東中華會館
It never ceases to amaze me what can be learned from keenly observing the streets of Taiwan 台灣 and following up with a little research online. I only spent one full day in Taitung City 台東市 at the tail end of a bicycle trip down south this June but managed to chance across a number of interesting sights in that time, this historic building among them.
Located at 143 Zhongzheng Road 中正路, this is the Taitung Branch 台東分社 of the Chinese Association 中華會館, originally built in 1927 while Taiwan was under Japanese rule. A plaque out front features historic information in English (shocking in this part of the country) as well as a direct translation of the name, "Taitung Chunghua Hostel", but it was more of a clubhouse or assembly hall, not a place to secure lodging for the night. Interestingly, the proper Chinese name is the same one used by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of America. Have a look at the photos on Wikipedia and you'll see the same characters—as well as the Republic of China flag flying overhead at their historic headquarters in San Francisco!
Presumably the Taitung Chinese Association served a similar purpose to its contemporaries in America, namely to advocate for ethnic Chinese (中華人) living outside of China 中国, which was in the 1920s nominally controlled by the Republic of China 中華民國 (in a twist of fate, now the rulers of modern-day Taiwan). Concurrent with the full-scale invasion of China in 1937 the Japanese authorities launched the Kōminka Movement 皇民化運動 (literally "to make people become subjects of the emperor"), a policy of cultural assimilation designed to assist the growing war effort. As such, the Chinese Association was evicted from the building and outlawed in 1938.
From 1938 until the end of the war the building was occupied by a chapter of the Xīnmín Society 新民會 (also referred to in English as the New People or People's Rejuvenation Society), a pro-Japanese organization based in Beijing. This organization was disbanded after the Japanese defeat and the building fell into disuse after a half-hearted attempt to repurpose it for use by another civic group. Finally, after decades of neglect, it was restored to its current condition for Retrocession Day in 1986. Apparently this is the only Chinese Association building remaining in Taiwan, for what it's worth!
So there you have it, another historical footnote previously undocumented in English, insofar as I am aware. Of course, more information is available in Chinese here, and here.
Yumei Hall 玉美堂
Yùměi Hall 玉美堂, also known as known as Hóng Family Mansion 洪氏洋樓, is located in Jiālǎo Village 茄荖村, a small settlement on the eastern edge of Fenyuan 芬園 in Changhua 彰化, Taiwan 台灣. Built in the late 1920s when the village was administered as part of Caotun 草屯 in Nantou 南投, it is one of only a handful of "Western-style" country manors built in central Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period (see my post about Jùkuíjū 聚奎居 for another great example).
The Old Walled City of Zuoying
A month ago I embarked upon a day trip to Zuoying 左營 to check out the famous temples and pagodas of Lotus Pond 蓮池潭, one of the main tourist attractions of greater Kaohsiung 高雄. Afterwards I wandered over to have a look at the old city of Zuoying 左營舊城, originally built in 1722 by the ruling Qing Dynasty in response to the many uprisings that regularly plagued Taiwan Prefecture.
Xiaoximen and the Eastern Walls of Tainan
Not much remains of the original Qing dynasty era defensive fortifications of Tainan 台南. The Japanese tore almost everything down in a bid to modernize the city in the early 20th century. Xiǎoxīmén 小西門, the small western gate, is one of three inner gates that remain. It was originally located near the traffic circle at the intersection of Xīmén Road 小西路 and Fǔqián Road 府前路 but was moved the opposite side of the city in 1970 to accommodate a road widening project. Nowadays it can be found amongst the ruins of Tainan's old city walls next to what remains of Xiaodongmen (little eastern gate) on the main NCKU campus in East Tainan 台南市東區.
Xinhua Old Street 新化老街
Xinhua Old Street 新化老街 is one of the finest old streets in all Taiwan 台灣. Located in Xinhua 新化, Tainan 台南, the street is lined baroque revival and art deco buildings from the Japanese colonial era. Most of the buildings on the western side of the street date back to the 1920s whereas the eastern side features a more modernist style from the late 1930s.
Jukuiju Mansion 聚奎居
Jùkuíjū 聚奎居 is an abandoned mansion in Wuri 烏日, Taichung 台中, built in 1920 by a wealthy businessman and landowner by the name of Chén Shàozōng 陳紹宗. The architecture is a combination of the traditional Taiwanese sānhéyuàn 三合院 (an inverted U-shaped building with three parts surrounding a central courtyard) and the Baroque Revival style of the Japanese colonial era. It is located on the margins of the city along an otherwise unremarkable lane in a poor, industrial part of town next to a military base, looking completely out of place in space and time.

The US had alerted India that Syria was trying to buy products from two Indian firms that could have been used in making chemical and biological weapons, secret cables posted by whistle-blowing site Wikipedia has revealed.
The products—glass-lined reactors, heat exchangers and pumps—were to be bought from two Indian firms, Goel Scientific Glass Works and Garg Scientific Glass Industries, are respectively located in Vadodara and Mumbai.
The December 12, 2008 memo said. "While they have legitimate commercial uses, glass or glass-lined chemical reactor vessels, heat exchangers and pumps can be used in the production of CW (chemical warfare) agents."
"We are concerned that the equipment in question is intended for, or could be diverted to, Syria's CW programme."
Syrian Scientific Research Council (SSRC)—the body that ordered the products is believed to be a key entity behind Syria's chemical and biological warfare programme.
The two firms had probably hosted the SSRC representatives in mid-September 2008 to finalize the contracts, the cables said.
The memo to the Indian government was sent by Condoleezza Rice, the then US secretary of state Condoleezza, and requested action to stop the sale. It said: "We therefore request that the Indian government take all steps necessary to investigate this matter and prevent Syria from acquiring dual-use items."
In the backdrop of its reported chemical warfare and other such programmes of proliferation besides support to terrorist organizations, Rice expressed concern that "Syria is an unreliable destination for dual-use exports, and Syrian end-user statements or other assurances are neither credible nor trustworthy."
