台南
my favorite city in Taiwan ☺️ (so far)

I mean, jokingly because the first two games didn’t go as the bettors intended.

It seems like I really want to continue using this platform judging by my internal head-state.

There’s very few of the large all-caps block lettering that’s so common here in LA, but “UCIT” written very large in something approaching this style should be visible on your right as you make your way into Taipei from the south via highway or metro.

And while the Overton Window seems to be a real concept, at first glance more in Taipei would first think it a reference to the ________ Window
