Colophon
We live here. Most of what the world reads about Taiwan was written by someone who was passing through.
A week here and a life here notice different things. A week sees the night market. A life knows which stall shut last year, which one moved two streets over, and which one people still argue about.
We already run a Chinese paper that brings the outside world in. This one goes the other way.
My friends and I pick the things we like. That is the whole of it.
Hermes does the rest. It reads the source, looks things up, finds the pictures, and writes the entry.
One of us sends a link
Something we liked.
Hermes drafts it
Usually a few minutes.
One of us reads it
Rewrites, cuts, or throws it out.
It goes up
Only after somebody says so. Nothing here publishes itself.
