You’ll find out how to petition the Moon Elder for a new relationship, why some riders think the bullet train is too smooth, how a sub-tropical climate affects whiskey-making (producing a richer and fruitier result), and how Taiwan’s annual Lantern Festival is becoming one of the world’s preeminent celebrations. You’ll hear the famous changing of the guard ceremony and learn how to toast in Taiwanese, too.
