Hello! My name is Kim. I am an EMT in Colorado, USA, and my fiance is a firefighter.

My great-grandfather helped form the first volunteer fire department there in Hsinchu, that later became the municipal department, and then the museum. I believe his picture hung in the museum. I am hoping that one of you is or knows a local firefighter who can help me contact the museum organizers, or department historian. I want to share my family's history with my soon-husband, and maybe trade station shirts/patches.

Thank you for any help you can give!

I’m open to discuss any of Pratchett’s work, but hope for a chance to hear Asian scholars’ thoughts on Interesting Times. Interested in a meetup in June.

I’m moving to Zhubei from America soon. I’m just looking up as much as possible to make my life easier when I get there.

I am considering getting a job here in hsinchu but I would not like to learn to drive a scooter in Taiwan. Is this doable? I don’t care about night life or seeing lots of things but I also hate cooking and like to order lots of take out.

Edit: I have been living here a week. So far I like my area but damn I didn’t realize why no one walks here and everyone has a scooter. It’s because it is not pedestrian friendly. Cars park on the only places you can walk. It’s a shame cuz I love walking. Oh well it is still livable especially with Uber eats!!

Planning to buy a gaming phone but idk if there is a ZTE mobile phone store in Hsinchu. Thanks in advance for the help.

Please let me know!
