Amazing how many of the same-sex couples involved a foreign spouse. I wonder what the drill-down on that was in terms of spouse nationality?
As we celebrate #PrideMonth, we remember that marriage equality became law in #Taiwan🇹🇼 in 2019, making us the first Asian country to take this historic step. Today's #TaiwanFactSheet highlights our commitment to equality & the progress that continues to strengthen our society.

Le v.-min. @francois1899 dit à @Challenges que #Taiwan🇹🇼 est un acteur clé des chaînes d'approvisionnement mondiales en puces, produisant 95% des semiconducteurs de pointe. Avec ses capacités & sa résilience, Taiwan est un partenaire indispensable de l'écosystème technologique.

A #KoWenje fan with a side of misogyny, pretension, and pro-PRC sentiment, who is also a mummy's boy, that's what makes a #莮 in #Taiwan!

RIP: I hereby announce the death of the #佛系 #BobbyHill meme. The meme was tragically posted by #Taiwan's Ministry of Finance yesterday evening, resulting in its immediate passing from popular culture, god rest its soul. Reflect on its glory days here: translatingtaiwan.com/2018/0…

A #buttery #wine is one of those terms you overthink when it comes to #translation. My ABC friend was trying to translate the concept at a wine bar near Yuanshan by resorting to all sorts of analogies, but can anyone guess what the wine list had in #Mandarin for "buttery notes"?

Have to say, I'm overwhelmed with the sheer amount of replies to this post. The answer was 「奶油筆觸」 (other translations are available from all good retailers).

Curious why so many children are flooding #Taipei streets during term time? Today is the end of semester. In process of finding out, stumbled upon this article on a teacher protest on Jan 25 against new rules on teacher hiring & firing tw.news.yahoo.com/教%…
