Summary: click to listen to mp3 (or right-click and "save link as" to download) sorry this podcast is crappier than usual-- i'm down with a cold and i don't have time to edit out all my "uhhms", "aahs", "you knows", and "likes" (i have to get back to finishing a project before its deadline). topics: 1. famous Taiwanese NY Yankees pitcher- Wang Chien Ming 2. street protests to topple Taiwan's president- NY Times article link 3. found mail 4. engrish signs The bottom of the first photo says "Ensure mutual respect between the two sexes". 5. moon festival- barbecues and bonfires (there's a topless drunk onstage in the first photo. click on "All Sizes" in the flickr page to enlarge. priceless shot.) 6. okonomiyaki- a very special egg omelette
