Great last day at Wind Energy Asia 2024 in #Kaohsiung today. A highlight of course being our own Wendy CHU and Heather HSIAO speaking on arbitration and labor laws, respectively - two important topics for the #Taiwan #offshorewind sector.

@trickytaipei I would need a tutorial course on how to put the tags on without messing them up.

News reports on the ACE cryptocurrency exchange money-laundering investigation on TWD 49 million (about USD 1.56 million) in cash and a McLaren found in the home of the Chien Yeh law firm's partner. Just saying, not the sort of problems in my house.

@trickytaipei Have you tried Cremia? Soft serve, only for a limited time at some dept. stores, but not bad.

@FormosaInsider I hate mushrooms. Let me know if you find something.

We got to tour two amazing boats at Wind Energy Asia 2023 in #Kaohsiung. CWind Taiwan and U-Ming Marine were kind enough to let us view their vessels - many thanks to the crew of both for sharing with us this interesting part of the offshore wind industry.

[Lloyd G. Roberts III @lroberts]

In #Kaohsiung for Wind Energy Asia 2023. Such perfect weather!

@trickytaipei You know the "Smeg" ones they had at Carrefour for a while when you collect their stamps? Got a ton of stamps after buying a new washing machine so got one to bring as a Christmas present.

@trickytaipei Osaka is such a fun place. Go to the Cup Noodles museum if you have a chance. You get to make your own instant noodles.
